"Texas Herp" is devoted to appreciating and learning about the herpetofauna, or "herps," of Texas.

Our state is home to many varieties of frogs, salamanders, snakes, lizards, turtles, and the American alligator.  These animals are beautiful, fascinating, and mostly harmless.  They play integral roles in the systems of plants and animals that are essential to life.

The site is a work in progress, with more content to be added over time.  Please check back!

This website is a project by Michael Smith, an amateur naturalist whose interest is primarily about herps as wildlife, and secondarily about keeping and breeding reptiles.  For more about that, see: http://www.jsdragons.com
