Wiki
This site is designed to be publicly viewable and editable! Yes, that's right! YOU are encouraged to contribute! Currently, contributors must be registered members of the Forum. Once you have registered, you should visit the Sandbox and play around with the various editing options. Plenty of documentation is available to answer your questions. When you feel ready, jump in and contribute! Right now, the major focus should be on completing the species accounts for turtles, frogs, and salamanders, but even correction of typos is of benefit.
A wiki provides a unique experience for users and contributors alike. Contributors are responsible for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the information presented. Copyrighted materials should be used only by permission and properly credited. Plagiarism should be avoided. (A good rule of thumb is to locate at least three different sources for the same information and then write it in your own words.)
Photo Galleries
Photographs on this site are hosted through Flickr. You are encouraged to contribute your own Flickr photographs of wild Arkansas ⚠ herps by adding them to the Herps of Arkansas Flickr group.
