 First Annual Reptile and Amphibian Law Symposium Sept. 28-30 in Houston
National Reptile And Amphibian Advisory Council
 Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council East Texas Herp Society

When it comes to reptiles and amphibians and the law, there is no shortage of opinions, but very little in the way of consensus or understanding among diverse groups of stakeholders.

The First Annual Reptile and Amphibian Law Symposium, scheduled to take place in Houston, Tex., on Sept. 28-30, will bring together herp keepers, biologists, legislators, school teachers, researchers, zoo keepers, breeders, academicians, and regulators for a series of panels, workshops, breakout sessions and talks with the goal of engaging all parties in dicussion of changes and issues with current and proposed reptile and amphibian laws and regulations at the local, state, federal, and international levels.

This event is being organized by the National Reptile and Amphibian Advisory Council (NRAAC), with the assistance of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council and the East Texas Herpetological Society.

The Symposium is free, and open to anyone with an interest in the subject of laws and regulations pertaining to reptiles and amphibians.

Topics will include:
  • Impact of laws on conservation and habitat preservation
  • Impact of laws on reptile keeping and breeding
  • CITES, the Lacey Act, and other national and international laws and regulations
  • Ethics and obligations of reptile keepers
  • How laws and regulations affect researchers and educators
  • And more...
    • The event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Resort at 12801 Northwest Freeway in Houston. Special group rates are available at the hotel. Get more information and register here.
