About Us
The Hoosier Herpetological Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the education of its membership and the conservation of all reptiles and amphibians.
Our goals are to:
-
Provide resources to aid in the care are of reptiles and amphibians.
-
Educate our members and the general public about the ecological role of reptiles and amphibians.
-
Promote the study and conservation of reptiles and amphibians.
The H.H.S. plays an important part in the central Indiana of the herpetological community. Educational displays and exhibits are a big part of the society. Members are encouraged to display and answer questions regarding the biology and captive care of their animals.
Membership is open to all interested individuals. You can help support our education and conservation activities with your generous donation!
A bit of history
The Hoosier Herpetological Society formed in late 1988 (officially 1989) and is going strong today.
In 1994, members of the H.H.S. (in cooperation with the D.N.R.), captured and relocated endangered Kirtland's snakes (Clonophis kirtlandii) to a new location. The original habitat was to be destroyed to make way for an industrial park. The Kirtland’s project was implemented to save this large population of the species. To this date, Kirtland's snakes have been observed at the new relocation site!
