Mike - Loved the presentation! I am much more cognizant about the benefits of snakes and certainly won't be so afraid of them as in the past. Am now sure I am sharing our pool with a harmless snake and if it becomes a problem I will scoop him out and relocate him. You must know you do a wonderful thing by educating the public and saving the environment, what a legacy you are leaving behind. Hope you never stop.

At Houston Herp Supply, we are committed to the education of the general public in the Houston, Texas area through extensive programming performed for various school and scout groups, as well as other businesses and government organizations such as Animal Control officers and corporate safety committees. Mike Howlett, owner of Houston Herp Supply, is a past President and Education Committee Chair for the East Texas Herpetological Society. In fact, herps maintained here at Houston Herpetological Supply were seen in educational presentations by over 90,000 people last year alone!

A new phase of our educational goals has been the introduction of hands-on educational programming for recreational functions such as birthday parties and the like. These are extremely well received by all persons involved and allows younger children the opportunity to learn while enjoying the interactive nature of the event.

We also believe that the key to a successful interaction between prospective herp owners and their animals begins well before the purchase. If the owner doesn't have the knowledge to properly care for that newly acquired snake or lizard, the animal may become ill and die. With that in mind, we are more than happy to answer any and all herp-related questions you might have, whether they pertain to our animals or yours. We hope this helps you select Houston Herpetological Supply as your one-stop herp supplier. Please feel free to use our e-mail address for your questions.
