Welcome!
The Nova Scotia Herpetoculture Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating its members and the public on matters concerning reptiles and amphibians in captivity and in the wild. We do not encourage or discourage people from keeping these animals in captivity, but we do recognize that many people are fascinated by reptiles and amphibians and are interested in keeping and breeding them. Our main objective is to provide the best information available to improve the quality of care of reptiles and amphibians in captivity. We are also in support of captive-breeding efforts which has made wild collection of some species obsolete.
We can sometimes find homes for lost or abandoned animals. We also have care sheets available for many common species.
If you have questions or concerns regarding reptiles or amphibians or if you require any assistance, please write to the address below, or send an e-mail to the appropriate contact.
