Who are we?
Membership is open to students and non-students of all ages.
Everyone is welcome!
We don't have any membership requirements or dues, we just get together and share our
fascination with Reptiles and Amphibians.
Some of our members have years of experience with herps and others are just starting
out and want to learn more.
Please come join us!
We are currently planning an organizational meeting in College Station for January 2004.
If you would like to update your e-mail address to be notified of future meetings please send your address as soon as possible to Nick Millichamp (njm@tamu.edu).
