History
The
Transvaal Herpetological Association was founded in 1980. It is
currently 111 members strong. The
aims and objectives of the THA are among others to help reptiles,
amphibians and nature in general, to collate and publish any
information or contribution to or interest to members and/or of
interest to the public at large. To assist members in the exchange
of specimens and breeding stock. To support field and captivity
studies. To raise funds in such a manner as the THA shall think fit
for the purpose of furthering all or any of the objectives of the
association. Most people are just members for the fun and a chance
to get to meet other like minded individuals. The THA
is the oldest of all the reptile associations, and the East Rand
Herpetological Association was originally part of the THA, but broke
away from the THA due to traveling distances. Meetings are held once
a month on the last Friday of each month, unless otherwise decided,
at the Mr. Wulf Haacke was one of the founders of the THA and is a honorary life member. Before retiring he was the herpetologist at the Transvaal Museum and has even had a number of species of reptiles named after him. |
