Herp Supplies
The HCHS and its members have had success obtaining herp-related products from the
following list of suppliers. Please note that local herp and herp-supply retailers (pet
stores) are listed completely so as not to interfere with HCHS endorsement & affiliation
guidelines (see About HCHS). Any local stores not listed are establishments which have not yet
connected with us; they are welcome to do so anytime. Internet source listings are more
subjective (based on customer approval and quality products).

I use Dickies pants, shorts and jackets on my herp hikes and camp-outs exclusively. I think this qualifies as "Field
Herping Gear". The products are durable and comfortable. My wife Kim has been running the website for over 7
years. Just mention that you are an HCHS member and receive 10% off! E-mail Steve directly at
brakes4snakes@yahoo.com to communicate method of delivery in order to perhaps forgo shipping charges!
