Interested in keeping and breeding reptiles & amphibians?
Learn from the professionals! There is a lot of material out there on the internet, and sadly, most of it is confusing, not helpful, or just outright wrong. This class provides an opportunity to learn about the successes and failures from professionals.
This intensive class provides a husbandry foundation as we learn from zoo professionals, nonprofit keepers, conservation managers, professional breeders, and others about the best practices and proven techniques for keeping and breeding reptiles & amphibians in captivity. Methods for growing healthy live food, ensuring proper water quality, light and heat sources, and more will be provided by professionals, as well as details of successful captive projects with species and groups of salamanders, frogs, turtles, lizards, snakes, and more.
The course fee ($250) includes ~ 60 lectures, handouts & additional readings, and optional live Zoom discussions with the Lead Instructor + other Instructors.
The class is intended for adults. Please contact us before registering someone under the age of 18
The course is asynchronous (on your own schedule) and divided into seven 2-week sections. A topic (e.g. Snakes) is introduced, related lectures are made available, and optional Zoom and forum discussions on the topic begin. Lectures remain available for the duration of the course, so students can always return to the material.
The Spring semester of the course begins March 7, 2023
Section 1: Introduction and Growing Live Food (March 7)
Section 2: Caudata: Salamanders & Newts (Mar 21)
Section 3: Anura: Frogs & Toads (Apr 4)
