About Us
The Hoosier Herpetological Society (HHS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and conserving reptiles and amphibians.
Our goals are to:
-
Provide resources for reptile and amphibian care.
-
Educate about their ecological importance.
-
Promote their study and conservation.
HHS plays an active role in central Indiana's herpetological community, offering educational displays and exhibits where members share their knowledge.
Membership is open to all, and your support through donations helps advance our education and conservation efforts.
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!
