NEHS Projects

The New England Herpetological Society has a long history of supporting herpetological endeavors. Check out these links:

The Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team. They are an official committee within the NEHS, but are also a separate organization. NEHS welcomed them as a way of contributing to the protection of local amphibian habitat.

Read about Red Belly Turtles and the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife's and NEHS' efforts to increase hatchling survivals.

Check out The Black Ratsnake Research Project funded in part by NEHS grants.

We have come up with some suggestions for how to deal with bad pet stores.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has permit requirements for many reptiles. We will be updating this information, but in the meantime please take a look at what we have.
