Connecticut’s reptiles are charismatic species that are cherished and beloved, though sometimes they are poorly understood. After getting acquainted with the characteristics and habitats of Connecticut’s 28 species of turtles, lizard & snakes, conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni will highlight interesting and unusual aspects of their ecology and how such information can be put to good use to benefit their conservation.
May 3 - Week 3 will explore conservation and management issues that are important to ensuring a secure future for reptiles in Connecticut, and will conclude with recommendations that YOU can follow to benefit these often under-appreciated animals, whether you are a landowner or land manager, or simply a concerned citizen.
