National Centre for Reptile Welfare
The National Centre for Reptile Welfare is a British animal welfare organization specializing in reptiles and amphibians. A joint initiative by The Pet Charity (TPC) and the Reptile and Exotic Pet Trade Association (REPTA), it was established at Hadlow College[1][2] in August 2018[3] in Kent, England. Amongst other affairs, it takes care of escaped exotic herpetological pets[4] and those pets whose owners for whatever reason can no longer care for them, and secures and records stowaways (some of which are venomous) found in packaging from overseas;[5][6] it also has citizen science educational and research arms.[7][8][9]
