Herpetology is a branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians) and reptiles (snakes, lizards, turtles, terrapins, tortoises, crocodilians, and tuataras). Herpetology is concerned with poikilothermic, ectothermic tetrapods. Under this definition "herps" exclude fish.
