The Alberta Reptile and Amphibian Society

[Wildkingdom]

T.A.R.A.S is a provincially registered, non-profit organization, which was formed in 1984 to help povide a network of information for anyone interested in reptiles and amphibians. Our goal is to promote education, conservation and responsible pet ownership by offering a wide range of resources that deal with the proper care of these fascinating, but specialized, animals.

Members recieve our quarterly "Bulletin" which is full of articles on reptile care, scientific papers, classified ads and a list of current T.A.R.A.S executive, any of whom will do their best to answer questions members may have.

T.A.R.A.S also offers members a number of events, including reptile shows, field trips, slide shows, BBQ's and parties. These events are a great opportunity for members to meet others who hold similar interests.
