Hi All,

This article covers the care of several native reptiles that often live in close proximity to people. As a result, they sometimes wind up in yards, basements, window wells and other such places. Most are also seen in pet stores. Often, folks are tempted to keep such reptiles as pets, especially when the “finder” is a child. The following information will give you an idea of what is involved in their care; please see the articles linked below for more detailed information, and post any questions you may have. If you find an injured animal, or wish to learn how to become a wildlife rehabilitator, please see this article.
