The Calusa Herpetological Society Of Southwest Florida

Thursday, May 6, 2010 - 7:00 pm

SPEAKER & TOPIC : Our speaker this evening has been ‘imported’ from the opposite side of the planet, uh, country – Oregon.  Paul Freed is a former Houston Zoo (Texas) herper, world traveler & explorer, photographer and author (see his first book cover below in between the biz cards as a clickable link on Amazon.com).  He has visited one of the most fascinating island nations in the world twice on Herping Expeditions to Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon).  This neighbor of India has pythons, cobras, vipers, and some of the most bizarre lizards ever seen.  The unfamiliar culture and ‘thirdworldliness’ of Sri Lanka will add to our sense of wonder as we are treated to this professional speaker’s splendid adventures and cool imagery as he takes us across the cities and countryside.  Paul Freed is also the author of this great book on fieldherping adventures….

WHO'S INVITED ? You are! Anyone with an interest in any aspect of herpetology or herpetoculture is welcome to attend, learn, and exchange their experiences with our friendly membership. Come out to meet others who keep, breed or study reptiles and amphibians, and let them share their fascination with you. We average 35 – 70 people attending every meeting.

Cookies and cold soda, a nightly raffle of live herps, herp products, and books follow each speaker's talk, and lots of herp camaraderie, gossip, and fun can be counted upon at all meetings !
