The struggling rural, island community of Pelee boasts one of the highest diversities ofrare species in Canada. S ome of these species have contracted in range and population size.

Giving thanks to this commitment, participants of the conference banded together in a 'giving back' pond construction. In 3 hours, conference participants dug, lined, filled and planted a small wetland.

Reticulated python may be largest snake in the world Source: John Aglionby Guardian December 30 2003 p3 Officials from Curugsewu zoo, Indonesia, claim to have a reticulated python that is 14.85 metres, or 49 feet long, which would mean that this is the largest snake ever captured. The snake was found in Sumatra in 2002, and was reportedly four metres longer, but part of the snake was cut off because it contained undigested food, a rotting deer. The snake is fed on three or four dogs per month. Reticulated pythons have been known to attack humans, but generally prefer other food. RE,BC

AMPHIBIANS IN GENERAL T he best-known amphibians are frogs, toads, and salamanders. Compared to the classes of other higher animals animals with backbones amphibians are very primitive creatures. According to the fossil record, here is approximately when the major groups of land animals appeared: Birds...... about 170 million years ago Mammals.... about 220 million years ago Reptiles... about 320 million years ago Amphibians: about 400 million years ago Fish....... about 500 million years ago Life originated in the seas. The first animals were simple ones without backbones "invertebrate" animals such as segmented worms, sponges, and corals. The first fish were so simple that they didn't even have jawbones for opening and closing their mouths. The first land animals with backbones were the amphibians. The oldest amphibian fossils look like fish with thick, muscular fins. That's because amphibians arose from early fish. The first amphibians lived more in water than on dry land. At the MyHerp.Com

Amphibian General Care Sheet Amphibians: General Husbandry Information Sheet Amphibians are divided into three basic groups: caecillians, salamanders (including newts), and frogs and toads. They are very diverse in their habits and life-sustaining needs, and many do not make suitable pets, as their life requirements cannot be met by the average pet owner. Housing When setting up a home for the animal there are several conditions that have to be considered. The first, being caging. Most amphibians do well in a terrarium set-up. This can be provided by taking an aquarium of suitable size, and dividing it into two sections: one for land and one for water. Those species of amphibian that are totally aquatic, such as the clawed frog and various newts, should be kept in an aquarium half full of water with a piece of cork bark, or other floating material, provided to give the animal a rest area (it may be attached to the side of the aquarium at water level). Dechlorinated water should always be used for amphibians. To ensure that the animal does not escape, make sure that your set-up has a lid, as even the totally aquatic species can climb up and out of their aquarium.

Comfortable Quarters for Amphibians and Reptiles in Research Institutions Michael D. Kreger Division of Scientific Authority U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 4401 North Fairfax Drive Arlington, VA 22203, USA Rhinoceros iguana* There are approximately 6000 species of reptiles and 4000 species of amphibians. Some are completely aquatic, some rarely leave the trees, and some are burrowers. They are found in almost every habitat on the planet. At first glance, it would appear difficult to list criteria for laboratory housing for such a diverse group of animals. However, there are three general keys to successful housing: a knowledge of the biology of the specific species including the basic, but essential needs of ectotherms; an ability to replicate the most important features of the reptile's or amphibian's natural environment in the housing and care provided to the animals in the laboratory; and caretakers who are able to recognize signs of discomfort, stress, and ill health in the particular species. Reptiles and amphibians are ectotherms [cold-blooded animals]. Unlike endotherms [warm-blooded animals], their body temperature is strictly dependent on the ambient environment.

BIODIVERSITY OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF THE RAMAH CREEK CONSERVATION EASEMENT Michael E. Dorcas Davidson College Funding for the project supported David Stroupe during the Summer of 2001. Go to his home page to see details of his project. The Southeast United States contains approximately half of the reptile and amphibian species found in North America (Conant and Collins, 1991; Gibbons, 1993; Stebbins, 1966). Because reptiles and amphibians compose a large portion of the biodiversity in almost every habitat in the Southeastern United States, the status of the herpetofauna will likely reveal the status of the habitat. Reptiles and amphibians are often referred to as good bioindicators because they are very sensitive to changes in the environment (Gibbons, 1988). Reptiles and amphibians have been declining in the past ten years for reasons which biologists are not able to fully determine. However, the most likely reason for the decline in herpetofauna is habitat destruction. Land management is the key to protecting habitat, and therefore a survey of the biodiversity in a habitat is the essential first step in effective land management. Recently, five landholders have combined their property to make an easement area of seven hundred acres in the region of Ramah Creek, Huntersville, NC for the perpetual protection of biodiversity. The purpose of the proposed project is to document the biodiversity of reptiles and amphibians on the Ramah Creek Conservation Easement Area.
