What is Herpetology?

It is the scientific study of amphibians and reptiles.  Like most other fields of vertebrate biology (e.g., ichthyology, mammalogy), herpetology is composed of a number of cross-disciplines: behaviour, ecology, physiology, anatomy, palaeontology, taxonomy, and others. Most students of recent forms are narrow in their interests, working on only one order or suborder (e.g., frogs, salamanders, pythons etc)

The Herpetological Society of Queensland supports us in everything we do. You can check them out online at http://geocities.com/herp_society_qld_inc/  Their website is full of great helpful information. Please pay it a visit!
