This is the only website to include ALL the amphibians & reptiles which you can find in Britain. It includes all the introduced species as well. From the Wall Lizard to the Dice snake. Our aim is to have 1,000 pages on this site. The aim of the British Herping Wiki is to show the immense diversity of the native species and that of the introduced species of reptiles and amphibians which have bred in the UK. Check out our articles; you will be surprised just how many species have bred here and have created a sustainable population.
If you have seen any other Reptiles Or Amphibians In the UK Which Aren't on this website please feel free to add a page about it: <createbox> width=24 break=no buttonlabel=Create new article </createbox>
Make sure to state where you saw it. You can add information about it from Wikipedia. But don't add any information from any other website other than that. We would also appreciate it if you add pictures and videos to this site to help illustrate the pages.
Or if your unsure about adding it yourself contact me at snakes1000000@hotmail.co.uk to add the page for you, THANKS! Don't forget to mention where you saw the reptile/amphibian.
When we first started the wiki, it only had "12" or "13" species if you include the Pool frog; which are all the native species to the UK, but now we have a total of 76 species on the wiki. Virtually all of them have at least 20 breeding pairs within the UK.

But we still need your help. If you have seen any amphibians or reptiles in the UK which aren't on the British Wildlife Wiki/British Herping Wiki please feel free to add a page about it. Just state where the population is and then add lots of information about it. You can copy & paste any information about the species from wikipedia BUT NOT FROM ANY OTHER WEBSITE! You can even do a little research on the species to see if there have been any other sightings of the species in the UK as well.
Thankyou for your time.

This is a YouTube Partnership Network dedicated to herping channels. It is free to join and requires no contract. But will still benefit your channel in many ways...
The British Reptiles & Amphibians Trust Was founded in 2013, by Matthew Higginson. The aim of this organisation is to unite all Herpetologists on youtube as ONE! Not just herpers from the UK, but everyone. Weather you just video your pet reptiles/Amphibians or weather you actually go out herping, it doesn't matter. We want as many people to join as possible. I don't see why you won't want to join as it's free, and will do nothing but help promote your youtube channel, also I get no benefit out of this. All the details about this free service and how to join can be found here:

This will benefit your youtube channel because it will give you an opportunity to get more views as people visiting this website will be likely to watch it.

- You'll have the opportunity to collaborate YouTube videos with other YouTubers partnered with this network. Even Me!
- All herping channels will be united as one, this will help new youtube channels start out as I will advertise them. Also it is then easier to find herping channels as all the members will be listed on this page.
I will give links to all your youtube channels on my account. And all members will be added to my featured channels list.
