Hi, is it true that the University of Bangor is the only University in the UK that teaches herpetology as a set subject or module.

Not sure whether anyone else (e.g., Kent) have a herpetology module. We certainly have the most herpetological faculty staff (3), and do teach a one semester herpetology module. Moreover, with so many herpetology staff, herps crop up pretty regularly in other courses as well, and there are a number of opportunities to do herp projects (the paper I posted above was based on a series of undergraduate projects, the other authors are all former honours project students).
Cheers,
WW
