What is Herping?

Herping (also known as field herping) is an exhilarating outdoor pursuit where enthusiasts seek out reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitats. Also, picture yourself on a real-life treasure hunt, where instead of gold, the reward is encountering fascinating creatures like snakes, frogs, and lizards!

With experienced field herpers or by venturing out on your own, you’ll explore diverse landscapes, from lush forests to tranquil ponds, uncovering the hidden wonders of nature. As a result, you’ll develop sharp observation skills, and every outing offers the chance to witness unique behaviors and marvel at the intricate beauty of these creatures up close.

Whether you’re capturing stunning photographs or simply immersing yourself in the beauty of the natural world, herping promises unforgettable experiences and lasting memories. Therefore, join us in the adventure of a lifetime as we embark on a journey of exploration, discovery, and appreciation for the incredible diversity of life on Earth.

Connecting People with Wildlife

Our Mission

Our goal is to educate people about the importance of reptiles and amphibians and how to protect and conserve their habitats.

At Herping.com, our mission is to ignite the passion and curiosity for the world of Reptiles and Amphibians. Because we are committed we hope to inspire and educate enthusiasts of all levels through responsible field herping practices that promote conservation and appreciation for these often-overlooked creatures. Our team strives for a deeper understanding and appreciation for these incredible creatures while promoting responsible conservation practices to ensure their continued existence in the wild.  And we are hoping this site becomes a great place to go for everything “herping.”

We are committed to protecting reptiles and Amphibians and their important environments around the world. As a result, Herping.org is an organization dedicated to the protection and welfare of reptiles and amphibians. And a portion of our proceeds goes directly to fund conservation efforts, habitat restoration, and initiatives that promote the well-being of these amazing animals. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in preserving wild herp populations and ensuring that future generations can experience the same thrill of field herping that we do today. Join us as we explore, learn, and protect — one adventure, one encounter, and one reptile or amphibian at a time.
