"Herping 365"
An in-depth herp discussion detailing where to go and what you may find any day of the year.

As many of you know, herping and other wildlife related activities consume a large portion of my free time. What many of you may not know is this, it doesn't need to be 75 degrees and 2 A.M. in the middle of the trans-pecos to encounter new and exciting herptafauna. Each calendar season provides unique challenges and opportunities for anyone interested in the hobby of field herping. I plan to spend a brief amount of time breaking down each season and sharing little tidbits of herping knowledge. From tiny dwarf salamanders to over-sized alligators this presentation will have something for everyone.

 

 

May general meeting

Randal Berry will give a talk on the History of reptiles regarding zoo personnel and the "movers and shakers" in the private sector.

A brief look back at 5 major zoo's in Texas with their emphasis on reptiles and some of the early pioneers who helped shape the hobby to what it is today. Also added in his talk will be pictures of very rare snakes, komodo dragons at the Houston Zoo and San Antonio Zoo, and some hilarious behind-the scenes photo's of people you probably know!
