Mission Statement

Group Photo

Lancaster Herpetological Society aims to educate people in conservation and care of reptiles and amphibians, through speakers and special events. We are committed to dispelling myths and untruths about our less fuzzy friends.

The Lancaster Herpetological Society meets on the third Friday of every month at the North Museum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The museum is located on the corner of Buchanan and College Avenues. The museum's address is 400 College Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17603. Entrance to meeting is by the back entrance; ring the doorbell if door isn't manned.

Our site is still under construction. If you have requests on something to be updated sooner rather than later, please send requests to LancHerpSociety@gmail.com. Updates are being made on a weekly basis (normally Saturday or Sunday.)
