181. Ethics And Resources: Pet Reptiles Vs The Wildlife Rehabilitator Standards, ethics, wildlife policy, and community involvement are among the many unwanted reptiles right back on the pet stores doorsteps, wildlife http://www.anapsid.org/iwrcart1.html

Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated August 11, 2002 Ethics and Resources Up for Discussion International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council Journal of Wildlife Rehabilitation , Fall/Winter 1998, 21(3-4): 31-32 Wildlife rehabilitators' interests range far beyond the direct care and handling of wildlife. Standards, ethics, wildlife policy, and community involvement are among the many issues that have a direct impact on the work rehabilitators do every day. Since these issues benefit from broad public discussion, this section of the Journal is designed to offer a forum for wildlife rehabilitators to exchange ideas about challenging issues, which are "up for discussion" by you, our readers. Some of the cases may also be discussed at upcoming IWRC conferences. The following "cases" will present either hypothetical situations or real-life problems facing active rehabilitators. Each case is followed with several questions for readers, and responses from people involved in wildlife rehabilitation. To encourage a free exchange of ideas, both attributed and anonymous responses are welcome. Question I specialize in reptiles and amphibians. I have not turned away any animal for which I had space since I started doing this. I have had to turn away some very large snakes and Monitors due to lack of proper facilities for them.

Naturenet homepage Amphibians, Reptiles and the Law There are six species of amphibian and six species of reptile native to Britain, These are: Amphibians Common frog Rana temporaria Common toad Bufo bufo Natterjack toad Bufo calamito Palmate newt Triturus helveticus Smooth newt Triturus vulgaris Great crested newt Triturus cristatus Reptiles Common (or viviparous) lizard Lacerta vivipara Sand lizard Lacerta agilis Slow-worm Anguis fragilis Adder (or viper) Vipera berus Grass snake Natrix natrix Smooth snake Coronella austriaca In addition, five species of marine turtle have been recorded in British waters; two of these, the loggerhead Caretta caretta and the leatherback Dermochelys coriacea are recorded sufficiently frequently that they are considered by some to be native species. Protection All of the native species (and all species of marine turtle) receive some degree of protection through the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). There have been two alterations to the Schedules to this Act which have increased the level of protection since it was originally passed (these occurred in 1988 and 1991). There are three different levels of protection afforded to our amphibians and reptiles through the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981; this results from different parts of Section 9 of the Act applying to the different species (as specified in Schedule 5). Full protection This applies to the great crested newt, natterjack toad, sand lizard and smooth snake and to all species of marine turtle (i.e. the families Dermochelyidae and Cheloniidae) when found in British waters. All parts of Section 9 apply. This prohibits the intentional killing. injuring or taking (capture. etc); possession; intentional disturbance whilst occupying a 'place used for shelter or protection' and destruction of these places; sale, barter. exchange. transporting for sale and advertising to sell or to buy.

Dry basins fill as water tables rise in fall or winter and during spring snowmelt and rains; pools usually dry by mid-to late summer. For some species of amphibians and invertebrates, vernal pools are required for breeding. Other species, such as Blanding's and spotted turtles, often use vernal pools for foraging or mating. Anyone interested in locating vernal pools in their area can get detailed guidance from the newly reprinted manual, Identification and Documentation of Vernal Pools in New Hampshire For information

Home College of Veterinary Medicine Site Map Reptiles/Amphibians Turtles Turtles are cold-blooded animals that require a heat source in order to maintain body temperature. Eggs are laid at various times of the year. Often turtles are the victims of accidents on the road. If one has been hit or has sustained trauma, keep the turtle warm and deliver to the WMC as soon as possible. Other indications for treatment are: abnormal or asymmetric swellings on the head, legs and tail, shell rot (eroded, discolored shell), nasal discharge, broken beak. Snakes Snakes are also cold-blooded. The young can be born live or hatch from eggs, depending on the species of snake. Snakes are not active in the winter. Any snake found outside during the winter, especially when there is snow cover, has compromised health and should be brought into the WMC for treatment. Caution must be exercised when dealing with snakes as there are poisonous species in Illinois. Send mail to Erika Stapp with questions or comments about this web site.
