The North Carolina Association of Reptile Keepers was created in the spring of 2005 to establish standards for caging, husbandry and safety protocols for keepers in this state. We believe that keeping reptiles is part of our constitutionally guaranteed rights. Our hope is to enhance the experience of keeping reptiles in the State of North Carolina with the priorities of animal health, public safety and personal responsibility at the forefront of our efforts.
We would like to use this web site as a platform to voice our opinions, to present facts and to educate the public as well as our state legislature. We want to provide services and resources to state agencies and citizens that would otherwise be unavailable. There has been much time and effort that has gone into creating an environment that we hope will be thought provoking, and stimulate spirited debate of the policies and issues that we are considering.
While visiting our site please be thoughtful and respectful at all times. Children will be visiting this site. Inappropriate language or topics will not be tolerated. Please contribute your best thinking to help make this a helpful resource and an enjoyable experience for all.
