XXXXX.xxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Resuscitating a Frog I had a unique experience with my African House Eating F'rog (Pyxicephal us adspersus) that I would like to relate .. Cn SUnday, Sept .. 2, 1984, I fed the frog a dead }'lHS rat pup that one of my snakes had failed to eat .. I have done this in the past with no problem .. After the frog grabbed the rat and started to eat it I left for the day. When I returned 3 hours later the frog was seemingly dead .. No movement or respiration was observed .. 1. immediately dislodged the rat from the frog's throat and began massaging the frog's chest and pwnping its legs@ After doing this for quite some time the frog gasped and tried to move. I continued to do this until it took its own breath .. Finally it breathed but could not expell and swelled up like a balloon.. I continued to squeeze the air out fer approximately 1 hour until the frog was breathing on its own. ~lhree days later the frog fed on pink rats and appears to be fine .. I included this for 2 reasons: 1 As a caution against feeding too large of a food item. 2 .. As a suggestion to try heroic measures to revive seemingly dead animals .. John }lel tzer

The li'ive Lined Skink (Eumeces fasciatus) is listed as Endangered and the Wood Turtle (Clemmys insculpta) and the Blanding's 'Turtle (Emydoidea blandingi) are listed as Threatened .. Numerous other species are listed as Special Concern, which means they need more field work to determine their true status .. Some of these should be upgraded to a higher status. However, none of these are currently protected, they are merely listed. This stinks! Cn the next page is a' letter from J'lH~; to DNH concerning this .. Hespect the '1' and 1 species until they are truly protected and leave them be .. Don't collect them for ethical reasons!
