The Junior Herpetologists Club at Frog Family Reptile & Amphibians is a monthly membership program designed to educate and inspire kids (ages 4–16) who are passionate about reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. It’s fun, hands-on, and created to spark curiosity while teaching responsible animal care, science, and conservation.

• Live animal encounters
• Real-world skills like habitat building and feeding
• Behind-the-scenes access at the reptile shop

💡 What Kids Learn:
• How to care for reptiles, amphibians, and bugs
