Definition

An enthusiast of herpetology who spends their free time seeking out, studying, or keeping reptiles and amphibians as a hobby.

Not to be confused with people with cold sores—totally different thing.

Example Usage

My cousin is such a herper that his apartment has more tanks than furniture.
