The TSHS meets the second Wednesday of every month at the Nuin center near the Pittsburgh Zoo. Anybody is welcome to sit in on one of our meetings. A membership of $15 per year entitles you to special events, field trips to animal exhibits and zoos, usually with behind the scenes tours, and a subscription to our Herpetological Herald. Each meeting includes an educational program, whether it be a local doctor speaking about the effects of venom, or a slide show provided by one of our members recalling a herpetological event in their life. Refreshments are provided and free discussion is encouraged.
