Organization Veterinarian
Dr. Chris Campbell is the Veterinarian for ARRS.
Growing up with a misconception and ignorant fear
concerning reptiles, primarily snakes. Gradually he
learned to deny what the media taught about these
mysterious creatures and relied on what he learned
from experts in the field. However it was not until
his years at Auburn where his education and
newfound respect for these animals flourished.
He was surrounded by so many great and
knowledgeable men and women who devoted their
lives to the study and conservation of reptiles and
amphibians. Their passion was contagious and Chris
tried to soak up as much knowledge as he could
while helping with various odd jobs in reptile research
and conservation. While he was in vet school he found
that he could use this passion to fill a much needed
and often overlooked niche as a reptile/amphibian
veterinarian.After graduating from Auburn and
moving back to Birmingham he again has found himself
surrounded by a passionate and knowledgeable
group of reptile enthusiasts. " I feel lucky that
throughout my career, i have been able to surround
myself by so many bright and gifted people. I learn
better this way. And when it comes to reptiles and
amphibians there is something to learn every day."
