The BOPV Silent Auction is an opportunity to support a worthy cause –  a student research grant to be established by the BOPV scientific committee supporting snake research. This is a chance to clean out your office or house of those interesting and valuable herp related items. Any herp related item - including books, art, sculptures, famous autographs, field equipment, or clothing - is appreciated. Please note that items made from amphibians, reptiles, or parts thereof, should NOT be donated. Donations are tax deductible. Receipts will be issued on request (please request receipt at time of donation). If you are interested in donating to the auction, please contact Bob Ashley (ecoorders@hotmail.com) for more information.
