About us
Welcome to Scaly Friends Learning and Socializing Together. We started this group because we believe that keeping reptiles is a rewarding hobby that is best enjoyed when you have a community to share it with. Whether you are a longtime keeper with a room full of enclosures or someone who is just starting to research their first pet, this is a space where you can ask questions, share experiences, and learn more about proper husbandry and care.
Our meetings are informal and centered around practical knowledge. We host regular sessions covering topics like habitat design, nutrition, and species-specific needs, but we also make sure there is plenty of time just to hang out and talk shop. If you are looking for a supportive group of local hobbyists to swap stories and pick up new tips from, we would love for you to join us at our next gathering.
