Welcome to the web presence of the:

Philadelphia Herpetological Society
P.O. Box 52261, Philadelphia PA 19115-7261 USA
 

1952 - 2010 

Our 58th Year

 

Professor Roger Conant [ photo ] and a small group of reptile enthusiasts and herpetologists founded the Society in 1952. PHS is among the oldest herpetological societies in North America.  PHS is a IRS approved 501c3, non-profit, tax-exempt organization.

The Society owns and operates a nature preserve in Southern New Jersey for threatened and endangered reptiles and amphibians (and other wildlife/habitat.)


We welcome anyone that shares our interests and conservation goals. Our volunteers range from professional academic herpetologists to students and hobbyists interested in applied herpetology (i.e. herpetoculture.) If you live, work or visit in Southeast Pennsylvania or Southern NJ, please consider joining our group! If you would like to be a speaker or field trip guide, please contact the president.
