Welcome to the Reptiles page!
Look carefully or you’ll miss them! Eastern fence lizards have great camouflage for living in forests. They lie in wait for creatures like insects and spiders to get close before springing into action and swallowing them.
These little guys are very adaptable, and can live in forests, savannas, fields, and even sandy dunes! They are little carnivores, eating mainly insects, but also enjoying the occasional mollusk.
Known for their bite, the Snapping Turtle is omnivorous, meaning they consume both plants and other animals. Their diet varies depending on their age, habitat, and availability of prey. They can grow from 8 to 20 inches in length, with males being larger that the females.
These turtles don’t spend a lot of time out of water, but when they’re out they love the Sun! They are found in the mountains and live in bodies of water with a sandy or muddy floor. They eat fish, and crawfish, frogs, and worms.
Adding to the list of colorful creatures on this website, the Red Corn Snake isn’t actually all red. They are diverse in color ranging between red to yellow with gray or black markings. Like most snakes these guys eat mice and other rodents.
These snakes are water snakes, living primarily along the banks of rivers and ponds in shrubs and grasses. They often eat crawfish, occasionally eating tadpoles and small fish. It’s one of two snakes in the Regina taxonomy, the other being Graham's Crayfish Snake.
