Re: What is your favorite NATIVE reptile?
My favourite natives would be Bloods, Retics but I love sea turtles most of all especially Leatherbacks.

Re: What is your favorite NATIVE reptile?
I've got to admit my favorite in this neck of the woods are the black rat snakes.
The ones down near my parents are abundant and fearless. As a kid we used to catch them at my grandmother's house - and both those and a hognose caught at Berkley Springs are directly responsible for my early love of snakes.

Haha.. just few of the good things about living in the tropics.
I`m quite amazed myself at just how common retics are. They could be found in urban areas, I almost steped on a roadkill once as i steped out of my car and it was in a housing area, although it was near a golf course.
And I forgot to mention water monitors, they`re absolutely in every river and drains!!
As for the leatherbacks, it`s sad that their number is still on the decline despite conservation efforts. A study done at a sanctuary showed that in the last decade, a majority of females were hatched and fewer landings are recorded each year.
