24.01.2022 The combined Herp Society BBQ at the Australian Reptile Park will be held on Sunday the 6th December. Catering as normal. Due to COVID restrictions we ask that you don’t sit or mingle in groups larger than 30 people. Due to COVID restrictions a show will not be conducted although there will be roving staff on the day.

23.01.2022 Howdy Members. Our expo is coming up at the end of May. We can’t make this happen without you, our members. If you are available on Saturday to help with the setup from about 3pm or Sunday for Expo day then please send us a PM

23.01.2022 Tonight would have been our monthly CCHS General Meeting. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances, we are unable to go ahead with a face to face meeting. However, that doesn’t stop us from going live. We do have a special guest speaker that will be going live. Instead of having it at 7pm tonight, we have scheduled our live event for this Saturday 18th at 11am, as we do need daylight hours for this talk. We won’t tell you who will be speaking, at this stage. We will keep it as a surprise! But, we will tell you the talk will be about outdoor setups and enclosures and you will get to see some really awesome animals that will be more than willing to show themselves off at this time. So who will be joining us? Q&A will of course be accepted during this session. Look forward to seeing you all online!

22.01.2022 Unfortunately, all of our General Meetings have been cancelled until further notice, due to COVID-19 and the ban on using community halls and non essential gatherings. If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us via Facebook or email. We wish all of our members and their families to remain safe and healthy during these times. Remember, only leave home if essential, social distancing and practice hygiene.

17.01.2022 Unfortunately our Committee have made the decision to cancel our CCHS Reptile Expo, which was scheduled for Sunday 17th May. This decision was made after Federal, State and Territory Leaders have advised of a ban on all non-essential gatherings, with more than 500 people, to minimise the impact on health with the spread of coronavirus. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, although out of our control. If any stall holder or breeder would like a refund on payments made, please contact us or we are happy to hold any payments made for our future expo.

17.01.2022 Information for all of our Venomous Keeper Members and friends. If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you are selected for the audit process and during these pandemic times, you don’t feel comfortable having anyone visit your home, that is a perfectly acceptable reason to postpone the audit process until the pandemic is over.

17.01.2022 Just a reminder CCHS will be live at 11am today with our special guest speaker and some special critters. See you all then.

You must hold a valid AKL and be a member of a herp society

Could you please send me a message if you are going, for catering purposes and Behind the Scenes Tours. Due to Covid, there are restrictions and BTS tours will be limited. So to avoid disappointment, please let me know and I’ll make sure your names are down to be involved. Thanks again, Tina.

09.01.2022 Thanks to Gabrielle from Natural Ecosystems for travelling to our meeting and being our first guest speaker for the year.

Congratulations to our Scholarship winners, Chantelle Derez and Kimberley Wright. ... Kimberley received the CCHS Student Scholarship (value of $500) and will use the funds to assist with her studies in Veterinary Science. We wish Kimberley all the best with her studies and look forward to having her as a guest speaker later in the year. Chantelle received the Professional Scholarship (value of $1500) and will use the funds to assist with her research, The Brisbane Python Project. If you haven’t already done so, please like her page.
