Welcome to the Western New York Herpetological Society!
Find Amphibian and Reptile Information
We are an organization of enthusiasts in the Buffalo and Rochester area with a shared interest in herps in the wild and as pets. What is a herp? The term herp refers to any reptile or amphibian. It is also short for herpetology, which is the branch of zoology that studies reptiles and amphibians.
Our members are located all over Western New York, from Buffalo to Rochester and all other points in WNY! The club also provides reptile and amphibian care sheets and demonstrations to share amphibian and reptile information in our community.
We hold our monthly membership meetings on the third Wednesday of every month at Medaille College. Guests are always welcome at theses free meetings. Click for directions to Medaille College or more information on upcoming meetings.
Be sure to check out our Amphibian and Reptile Care Sheets for care guides to many species. Also help us offset the costs of our Annual Herpetology Grant and our Adoptions Programs by buying some cool herp stuff at our CafrePress store.
Every purchase from Wormman.com helps support the WNY Herp Society!
Help reptiles in need by donating to our Adoption Fund! Your donations will help feed and house reptiles waiting for adoption.
