Meetings of the DFW Herpetological Society are opportunities for friends to meet, for people to learn about herps and enjoy beautiful photos, and for members to offer captive-bred reptiles or amphibians for sale. Meetings are events where everyone can feel welcome and families can feel comfortable. Our meetings last about an hour and a half, consisting of announcements and any business, followed by a program - usually a talk and slide show. At the end, members may sell captive bred animals and generally we adjourn to a place to eat and talk further.
Animals brought to meetings must be in a secure container and are restricted to legally owned, nonvenomous reptiles and amphibians smaller than eight feet in length. Please note that only members can offer something for sale at meetings, and any animals offered for sale must be captive bred.
We hold meetings at the University of Texas at Arlington, Life Sciences Building. UTA is located in central Arlington on North Cooper Street, north of I-20 and south of I-30. There are exits from both of those Interstates for Cooper Street. The Life Sciences building is on the south edge of the campus. From Cooper Street, turn east on Nedderman Dr. and park in the lot across the street from the building. Once you are there, enter the west building (the one closest to Cooper Street). There are entrances in the breezeway between the two buildings.
