We are the Herpetological Environments and Research in Practice (HERP) Laboratory at Eckerd College, FL, USA. To improve the welfare of captive herptiles, we focus on how the captive environment can influence animal behavior and cognition. 

All our research conducted is in line with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Eckerd College. Previous work still being published was in line with UUK Concordat to support Research Integrity at the University of Lincoln, UK. All our work receives ethical approval prior to conducting.
