UNITED STATES ASSOCIATION OF REPTILE KEEPERS

The United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK) is a registered non-profit organization duly incorporated in the state of North Carolina.

museums, research facilities, education, entertainment and pets. ​We are dedicated to conservation through captive propagation, and espouse the ideal of, "Preserving Reptiles & Amphibians for Our Future". We endorse a 'Keepers Code of Ethics'. Our members are veterinarians, researchers, breeders, manufacturers, feed producers, hobbyists and pet owners; collectively known as the Reptile Nation. Our membership accounts for annual trade revenues of $1.4 billion in the US. USARK is the only advocate of the conservation, responsible ownership and trade of reptiles and amphibians as a #1 priority with no conflicting interests.

The Eastern Diamondback Conservation Foundation (EDCF), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation committed to conserving rattlesnakes and other imperiled species. We believe that education and outreach is the most important part of our work. As a Florida based organization, our staff understands the challenges of dealing with human and wildlife interactions and we strive to help change people's opinions on snakes and how to live with them. 

Our work currently takes us across the country to help solve tough problems like rattlesnake and human/pet conflict. The outreach programs we do help educate people about the importance of snakes in our ecosystems, their value to humans, and how to deal with conflict when it arises.
