North West Wales ARG

We are an organisation established to involve the public in the conservation and recording of reptiles and amphibians in North West Wales

Freshers Week at @BangorBioZoo has kicked off 🎉 We're excited to meet some new volunteers and work to conserve our native amphibians and reptiles 🦎🐸🐍

We've had a few requests to reveal the specimens making up our representation of the transgender pride flag, so here's a little more info!
As well as selecting specimens for colour matches, we tried to include objects from across different collections...

91 toads, 2 newts and 4 frogs were rescued from the roads around Treborth tonight! @ToadRescue @ARC_Bytes @ARGroupsUK 💪🐸 success! Now time for a cuppa

#Adders out and about on Sunday! These males were observed warming up in the morning sun getting ready for breeding season! It is important to not disturb the adders at this time of year by keeping a respectful distance so they have the best chance of successfully mating

Some pictures from our latest toad patrol, 41 little toad friends (and a couple frogs and newts) total rescued 🐸

Female adders do not usually breed every year. During a breeding year individuals may stop growing and lose one third of their body mass. [Photo credit: Tigerente, https://t.co/qgDlOIubMv] #FridayFact
