Roman Herpetological Association

On september 21st 2005 A.R.Er. (Roman Herpetological Association) has been founded in order to fullfill the need of the Italian herpetological community to cooperate in a more organized and organical way.

The registered Association has been settled in the city of Rome but everyone, Italian and foreign people, are warmly welcome to become member to support our operate and realize our missions. In order to do that, we decided to let the membership be completely free of cost. We want to make clear that we are a no-profit Association without any commercial purpose.

We firmly believe that internet is one of the best opportunities to let the people interact, that's the reason why our website has been published just few days after the Association was born. Through the website our members will have the possibilty to be informed about all the developments. Everybody is invited to cooperate and give us constructive comments and new ideas.

The Association endeavours to cater for all levels of interest in herpetology, from the school pupil who finds that lizards and frogs make interesting pets, to people engaged in serious scientific studies or captive breeding programs.

Only with your interest and help A.R.Er. will grow up. With the current difficulties the reptile's world is experiencing, thanks to your support and cooperation we hope to ensure a future to our passion.

A.R.Er. is devoted to fulfil several and various needs of members and not: those interested in conservation of native reptile and amphibian species; those wishing to buy and/or sell captive-bred specimens and those who want to enhance their general knowledge and acquaintance with herpetology and herpetoculture.

A.R.Er. promotes conservation of all species of herps, with a special interest for Italian herpetofauna. Furthermore, the Association maintains a large library of reptiles and amphibians related books and pubblications.

If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact the Association.

Thanks a lot for your interest and we hope you will join us!
