Become a member of Thames & Chiltern Herp Group to attend our monthly meetings & day trips.

'Behind the scenes tour of the Reptile House' at Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens - Sunday 19th September 2010.
Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens where you can ride a giant tortoise, be envenomated by a cobra, or, eaten by a Morelots Crocodile!
Iri Gill - Head of Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates will be our host.
We would meet in the Reptile House Court Yard, prior to the tour, which being dependant on numbers attending could be split into two groups - one in the morning, with another in the afternoon.
I thoroughly recommend a trip to the Park, it is set in 160 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, with animals cleverly exhibited to suit every one's taste.

P.s. Iri is speaking at the Kempton Park Reptile Expo on Sunday 15th August 2010.

Look us up T&CHG on Facebook.
