Reptile Ranger
Residential Programme


Why choose the Reptile Ranger Residential Programme?

RSB Supporting Organisational Member
Our RRR Programme is an interdisciplinary programme for students aged 16-25 across the biology, zoology and veterinary fields, as well as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The most prestigious accreditation our programme holds is with the Royal Society of Biology for our education and animal welfare excellence.

Idyllic Forest Lodge Accommodation
We have chosen brilliant accommodation in a picturesque setting. No converted barns or tents on this Residential!

New Forest Herpetofauna
Whilst the focus of this residential is exotic species animal management, the New Forest is a safe haven for the UK's native Herpetofauna.

Animal Handling Guarranteed
This residential programme will train you in best handling and husbandry practices with several species of snake, amphibian and lizard. No other residential programme provides the hands-on experience quite like ours.

The Residential of a Lifetime!
Our programme has been especially created by our expert team of biologists, zoologists and herpetologists. Experience species from around the world without having to travel the world!
Our organisation and programme was approved by the DofE under the AAP Framework in 2022 which covered our July 2023 through to April 2025 Residentials.
As of May 2025, we now operate independently of the DofE but offer the same, previously approved programme with a whole host of wider accreditors, including the RSB, ASDAN, AQA, ISAP, IACE and ICAN, offering a wider variety of participants (still including DofE Gold participants) the opportunity to get involved.
