Husbandry

A high percentage of the Membership of the NCHS interests extend  beyond field observation and study of Herps.  Many if not most of the membership keep herps in captivity.  The Society has started these Care Sheet pages in an effort to promote the best possible care of captive herps, both native and exotic.
Specific care questions can be addressed to Matt Hasz, committee chair of the NCHS Husbandry Committee.
