The animals are wholesaled to pet retailers operating in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, with restrictions on sales still existing in other states. The Federal Government continues to restrict the export of Australian native species to overseas markets. The reptile sector is the fastest growing section of the pet industry and Woma sees urban animal lovers as their target market. Websites: Key Centre for Tropical Wildlife Management

WDFW -- Landscaping For Wildlife Besides their ecological value, snakes offer the careful wildlife viewer a reptiles of Washington and Oregon. Seattle Seattle Audubon Society, 1995. http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/living/snakes.htm
Extractions: (Photo by Jon McGinnis.) Snakes are among the most misunderstood of all animals. As a result, many harmless, beneficial snakes have met untimely deaths at the hands of shovel-wielding humans. Of the dozen of so species of snakes found in Washington (Table 1), only the Western rattlesnake is capable of inflicting a poisonous bite, which it seldom does. Facts about Washington Snakes Food and Feeding Behavior Snakes have hinged jaws that allow them to consume food that is wider than their bodies. Even so, what a snake eats depends on its size; generally, larger snakes eat larger food items. Snakes store food as fat, and can live off their fat reserve for extended periods of time.

The total number of breeding adults and number of UK populations were estimated for each species using information from a variety of sources. Estimates for most species, with the exception of natterjack toad, sand lizard and smooth snake, were made by extrapolation from small sample sizes with little data available on variations in habitat size or changes in species distribution and population sizes. The estimates for most species must therefore be treated with caution. Data on international distribution were combined with the personal comments of national experts to provide an estimate of the global "range area" for each species. The dataset incorporates over one million recent records of the UK species across their world ranges, representing over 25,000 map entries. The area of species occurrence in the UK has been estimated and expressed as a percentage of the entire world range. UK populations represent a small but significant section of each entire taxon, particularly the natterjack toad and the common frog, for which the UK makes up over 5 per cent of both their world ranges. Current estimates of the palmate newt, Great crested newt and Western grass snake suggest that the importance of the UK for these species may have been underestimated previously, with these data showing the UK containing approximately 4 per cent of these species' world ranges.
WWF | Wildlife Trade | FAQs | Reptile Trade wildlife Trade FAQs. Reptile Trade. How many kinds of reptiles are there andwhy are they traded? Scientists recognize some 6000 species of reptiles in http://www.worldwildlife.org/trade/faqs_reptile.cfm
Extractions: Scientists recognize some 6,000 species of reptiles in five different groups: turtles and tortoises (order Testudines ), tuataras (order Rhynchocephalia ), lizards (order Sauria ), snakes (order Serpentes ), and crocodilians (order Crocodylia ). Reptiles are traded live as pets and for their parts, particularly their skins, which are valued for certain leather items such as shoes, wallets, handbags, and watchbands. In addition, some reptiles are used as food and to make traditional medicines. Are reptiles endangered? Just under 300 reptile species are listed as threatened in the 2002 IUCN Red Book of Threatened Animals. More than half of the listed reptile species are turtles and tortoises, with snakes and lizards making up most of the rest. Ten crocodilians are also listed. Some of the most threatened reptiles found in trade include the Orinoco crocodile ( Crocodylus intermedius ) from Brazil, the Aruba Island rattlesnake (

Defenders Of Wildlife - Habitat & Highways Campaign - Herps Road Mortality of Amphibians, reptiles and Other wildlife on the Long PointCauseway, Lake Erie, Ontario Ashley, EP; Robinson, JT 1996 http://www.defenders.org/habitat/highways/new/target/herps.html
Extractions: Herps Herpetology is the study of both reptiles and amphibians. Although they may look quite different, reptiles and amphibians share many physical characteristics and are susceptible to the same dangers. When considering roads, for example, reptiles and amphibians suffer similar effects from the construction, existence, and expansion of roads. Herps are ectotherms, meaning their body temperature and metabolism are regulated by ambient temperature. As such, herps are particularly attracted to warm surfaces where they can raise their body temperature including roads and highways. Anyone who has ever stepped on a blacktop road in the middle of summer has experienced the "heat island" effect, where a noticeable change in temperature is retained in a small area. Even unpaved roads are warmer than the surrounding area if trees have been cleared from the right-of-way, allowing direct sunlight to the road surface. Reptiles such as snakes are especially likely be killed while basking on road surfaces. Also, amphibians such as frogs and salamanders are attracted to pools of water that collect adjacent to roads from storm events. In undisturbed habitats, many amphibians depend on seasonal pools for reproductive purposes. Along roads, these pools can essentially act as traps. During storm events, roadside drainage ditches contribute sedimentation and high velocity surface flow washing off of roads, contaminating and speeding up the flow of waters used for reproduction. Furthermore, roadside waters tend to evaporate relatively quickly which can result in the dessication of eggs laid by amphibians before they hatch and the trapping of developing young
