Herpetological societies worldwide play a vital role in bringing together individuals who share a passion for reptiles and amphibians. These organisations provide opportunities to expand knowledge, contribute to conservation, and stay informed about the latest developments in herpetology.

By joining your local society, you become part of a collaborative community where researchers, educators, and enthusiasts exchange ideas and work toward shared goals. Membership not only supports valuable initiatives but also fosters meaningful connections with others who are dedicated to understanding and protecting these remarkable animals.

Do you want your society featured?

Drop us a line with their details and we'll do the rest.

Don't believe the hype!

Statistically, you're less likely to get Salmonella from your pet reptile than from your dog's treats.

That's why policymakers should be sceptical of those using Salmonella scaremongering to push for reptile-keeping bans.

It's disingenuous.
It's disproportionate.
And it exposes the lies behind such campaigns.

Don't be fooled.

Slimy, Horrible Creatures tells the story of how a tiny minority of extremists hijacked the law-making process, and how the result can affect every reptile keeper on the planet.

This short documentary film pulls back the curtain and highlights the methods and missions of those who want to put an end to reptile keeping – even if that means reptiles could suffer poor welfare as a result.

If you love reptiles you need to watch this film.
