The Alberta Reptile and Amphibian Society

Fostering Reptile and Amphibian Education since 1984

The Society

The Alberta Reptile and Amphibian Society was incorporated under the Societies Act by a group of reptile and amphibian enthusiasts to help educate, promote proper husbandry and promote conservation in Alberta, Canada and around the world.

Our Objectives

- To promote the awareness of reptiles and amphibians.

​

- To promote conservation education.

​

- To provide information to new reptile and amphibian keepers about care, proper husbandry and anything else you need.

​

Our goal is to promote education, conservation and responsible pet ownership of these fascinating but specialized creatures.

We can’t stress enough on how important it is to do your research before purchasing a new pet.

TARAS is pleased to have been able to present the Miistakis Institute with a grant to support the purchase of  Hobbs Active Light Trigger camera systems to monitor native amphibian and reptile use of road tunnels intended to provide habitat connectivity. Results will inform native species conservation efforts and improve future road infrastructure for amphibian and reptiles. We are so excited to see what comes of it!
