General information & guidelines re
PNHS’ Monthly Meetings are a great place to learn something new, purchase feeders at a discount, and meet new people
General Information The Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society (PNHS) is a non-profit organization registered with the State of Washington. PNHS is dedicated to the education of its members and the public, as well as the conservation, ecology, and captive care and breeding of reptiles and amphibians. The society also takes an active role in legislative and environmental issues affecting these animals and their habitats. Meeting Information PNHS holds its general meeting on the second Sunday of every month (with exceptions for holidays) at 6:00pm at Highline Community College in Des Moines, Building 12 Room 101. The Board meeting begins at 4:00pm. Doors open at 5:30. Other business and socialization occurs between 5:30 and 6; then the General Meeting starts. Meetings are open to the public, and the society encourages anyone with an interest in herpetology to attend. Please purchase a membership to show your support for the society. Animal Donations Looking to adopt, release an animal or donate cages and equipment? Please contact the Adoptions Committee by email at adoptions@pnwhs.org, or by voicemail at 206- 583-0686. We will contact you and make arrangements. Other Donations The Adoption Committee receives minimal financial support from the Society, so donations of money, food, cages, and equipment are always needed and appreciated. Please contact the Adoption Chair to make a donation.

Letter from the President By Brenda Huber
Vol. 27, No.6
Thank you for a wonderful weekend! The “Emerald City Reptile Expo” took place last weekend at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. I must admit that I had a great time at the show! First and foremost, I want to thank our selfless Event Coordinator, Norm Hill, who worked round the clock to put on such a fabulous event on behalf of PNHS and The Bean Farm. Left: Event Coordinator Norm Hill holds Albino Burmese Python and show superstar, “Dexter,” for a photo op.
I also would like to thank Giovanni, Paula and Marco Fagioli of The Bean Farm for being PNHS’ partner in this great endeavor. Their knowledge and expertise have proven invaluable. A huge thank you goes out to all of our Emerald City Reptile Expo vendors and exhibitors...the room was full of amazing things to view and purchase (I did my part for the economy,) as well as the informative displays from our “Conservation & Education” Section, Continued...

animal rescues, and emergency preparedness organizations. The Director from Public Health actually commented on our ubiquitous sanitizing of everyone and everything. She was impressed! (I’ll take being called a “rabid sanitizer” as a complement….)
And then there was the Outreach Section. Absolutely the best I’ve ever seen…. A giant thank you to former PNHS President Aimee Kenoyer for arranging the most phenomenal Outreach Section that PNHS has seen in a long while. It reminded me of the “good ol’ days” at the Pacific Science Center (definitely fitting to be back at Seattle Center.) It certainly caught everyone’s eye, including the producer of “Adventure TV.” (Stay tuned for more information when we see what evolves.) Thank you to all Outreach Section participants. You were extraordinary! Thank you to Dave Coleburn and the Predators of the Heart team (www.PredatorsOfTheHeart.com) for putting ...most of all, to our very on five entertaining shows with a packed own PNHS volunteers, each time. (I must admit, his routine a big thank you house when he brought out the skunk was LOL for making the Emerald every time…) It was a privilege to see so City Reptile Expo 2012 a raging success! many beautiful creatures up close (including reptiles, of course.) And I believe our newest PNHS member and alligator-wrangler, Will W., would like to thank Predators of the Heart for allowing “Hank” (nicknamed by the PNHS Portrait Studio) the alligator to be a huge draw at the Photo Booth.

Pa g e 6 Letter From The President Continued….
Speaking of the photo booth, a huge thank you to the DigiPen University team for tirelessly running the Photo Booth all weekend long. PNHS certainly extends its thanks to Andrew Wyatt of USArk (United States Association of Reptile Keepers) for flying all the way out west for the Expo. I hope that everyone had a chance to speak with Andrew and learn about the latest legislative happenings. Personally I’d like to see our U.S. legislators spend their time fixing the economy (have you seen the gas prices this past week?) rather than creating federal legislation for issues that concern South Florida. This is the point where I need to stop to reassure my mother that invasive Burmese Pythons from Florida are not crossing the Rocky Mountains and invading Edmonds (just north of Seattle)… Thanks to media hype, she is actually worrying about this very issue right now. So, I would rather like to see legislators take steps to help small businesses in America, instead of taking steps to eliminate them entirely in cer...most of all, to our very tain sectors of the economy. Enough said. own PNHS volunteers,
Most of all, to our very own PNHS voluna big thank you teers, a big thank you for making the Emerald for making the Emerald City Reptile Expo 2012 a raging success. We City Reptile Expo 2012 a came together all across the membership, raging success! from brand new members to some of us “old hats” and worked wonders together. We all must share the accolades for putting a positive spin on herps for the public to witness and enjoy. Congratulations to everyone! Brenda Huber PNHS President

Emerald City Reptile Expo: “Guess Donatello’s Weight” Contest Winners
Saturday and Sunday at the Emerald City Reptile Expo each had a contest for kids: “Guess Donatello’s Weight.” For those of you who aren’t familiar with Donatello’s story, here’s a brief recap. “Donatello,” a Sulcata Tortoise, came to PNHS as a rescue. He was dumped and found running down Highway 167 between Renton and Kent, WA. He was roughly the size of a volleyball and weighed 14 pounds.
“Tubbatello:” Containing Donatello prior to his stage debut at Seattle Center’s Science Expo Day Stage proved rather difficult...
How many lbs.? Here are just a few guesses we received over the weekend: “09” “450” “32” “380”
“112 or 84”
“750” “32” “48” “Around 144” “100”
He was adopted by previous PNHS President Extraordinaire, Scott Frayo & his wife Shani. They have proved to be the world’s best sulcata parents: Donatello even has his very own house. Now Donatello has grown to the size (and perhaps function) of a small lawnmower… and it was time for kids to guess his weight. Each day had a winner. The prize was a giant stuffed alligator, and a one year family membership to PNHS.
Congratulations to our Saturday winner, Fiona G., with a winning guess of 97 pounds. Congratulations to our Sunday winner, David B., with a winning guess of 97 pounds. Donatello’s current weight is 98 pounds.

Vanishing in the Southeast Lawsuit launched by Center for Biological Diversity to speed protections for dozens of rare and vanishing reptiles and amphibians in the southeast U.S.A. Reprinted with permission from HerpDigest, Vol. 12, Issue 23, Dated: 5/23/12
Atlanta- Press Release - 5/22/12— The Center for Biological Diversity filed a formal notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today for the agency’s failure to decide whether to give Endangered Species Act protection to 25 amphibian and reptile species found in the southeastern United States. Nine turtles, two snakes, one skink and 13 salamanders are named in today’s notice. “Endangered Species Act protection is the only hope for saving these amphibians and reptiles, which are being driven to extinction by habitat loss, pollution and other threats,” said Collette Adkins Giese, a Center lawyer and biologist who works to save imperiled amphibians and reptiles. “Saving these animals will also protect rivers and streams that are a source of drinking water and recreation for millions of people in the Southeast.” In 2010 the Center and its allies petitioned for Endangered Species Act protection for dozens of amphibians and reptiles, as well as hundreds of other aquatic species, in the Southeast. In 2011 the Fish and Wildlife Service determined “These animals that 25 of these amphibians and reptiles “may warrant” protection as simply can’t afendangered species but has failed to make required 12-month findings ford any more to decide whether to give them federal protection.
bureaucratic de“Amphibians and reptiles are facing an extinction crisis in the Southeast lays.” and across the globe,” said Adkins Giese. “These animals simply cannot - Adkins-Giese afford any more bureaucratic delays.” In the United States, scores of amphibian and reptile species are at risk of extinction. Yet reptiles and amphibians make up just 58 of the 1,400 species protected under the Endangered Species Act, the country’s most powerful law for saving species from extinction and putting them on the road to recovery.

Lawsuit in the Southeast, continued...
Species Highlights: The Barbour’s Map Turtle is found in wide, clear streams with swift currents and snags for basking in the Apalachicola River system of Georgia, Alabama and Florida. This turtle preys mainly on mollusks and insects such as caddisfly larvae; it can only survive in waters clean enough to support its prey base. Barbour’s Map Turtles are threatened by commercial collection, dredging, pollution and disease. The Eastern Ribbon Snake (Lower Florida Keys population) is found on only a few of the mainline islands of the Lower Keys in Monroe County, Florida. Its freshwater wetland habitat is extremely limited and threatened by residential and urban development. The Ribbon Snake is black, with three yellow stripes, and gets its name from its very thin body. The Florida Keys Mole Skink is a tiny lizard found only on sandhills and scrub of some of the Florida Keys. It usually occurs near the shoreline in sandy areas where it burrows into soil. Its populations are declining primarily due to habitat destruction and over-collection. The Hellbender Salamander can grow to almost 2 feet long and is North America’s largest amphibian. Many populations across the eastern United States are extirpated, but hellbender are still believed to occur in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. They live in rocky, clear creeks and rivers, where they use large rocks for shelter. These salamanders face many threats, including dams and pollution from mining, logging, agricultural runoff and other sources. The seepage salamander is tiny, reaching only 1-2 inches in length, and is named for the seepages around which it lives in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Its population size has been cut in half over the past several decades, primarily by logging and other forces driving habitat loss.

US Fish & Wildlife Announces Successful Recovery Of the Morelet’s Crocodile Reprinted with permission from HerpDigest, Vol. 12, Issue 23, Dated: 5/23/12
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced removal of the Morelet’s crocodile from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) due to recovery of the species. The species is found in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. The Morelet’s crocodile was named after a French naturalist, P.M.A. Morelet, who discovered the species in Mexico in 1850. The species is smaller than other species, such as the American crocodile, with most wild adults usually ranging in length from just 6 - 8 feet. It is generally found in freshwater environments such as lakes, swamps and slow-moving rivers. The majority of the Morelet’s crocodile population occurs in Mexico and Belize (87 percent), and those two countries hold the majority of the potentially suitable habitat (81 percent) throughout the species’ range. Guatemala contains the remaining 13 percent of the wild Morelet’s crocodiles and the remaining 19 percent of the potentially suitable habitat throughout the species’ range. The Morelet’s crocodile was listed as endangered throughout its entire range on June 2, 1970, under the predecessor of the ESA. It was listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on July 1, 1975. CITES in an international treaty that aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. CITES Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction that are or may be affected by trade. Trade in specimens of these species is permitted only in exceptional circumstances. The overharvest for commercial purposes was the primary reason for the Morelet’s crocodile being listed under the ESA and its inclusion in CITES. As a result of the species’ improved status, on March 18, 2010, at the Conference of the Parties (CoP), the Morelet’s crocodile populations in Mexico and Belize were transferred to CITES Appendix II while prohibiting trade in wild specimens for commercial purposes. Appendix II includes species not necessarily threatened with extinction, but where trade must be controlled in order to avoid use incompatible with their survival. The new CITES Appendix II designation became effective on June 23, 2010. At the request of Guatemala, however, those populations of Morelet’s crocodiles in Guatemala Continued….. will remain in CITES Appendix I.

Morelet’s Crocodile Continued...
Because trade in wild specimens is prohibited, international commercial trade in Morelet’s crocodiles under CITES is limited to individuals from sources other than the wild (e.g. captive-breeding operations). After the effective date of this final rule, Morelet’s crocodile parts and products originating from Mexico (and Belize, if any) captive-breeding operations may be imported into the United States for commercial purposes, as long as the exporting country finds that the export will not be detrimental to the species, the specimen was lawfully acquired and the required CITES export permit or re-export certificate has been issued. The final rule to remove Morelet’s crocodile from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife will publish in the Federal Register on May 23, 2012, and become effective on June 22, 2012. A copy of the final rule is available at: http://www.fws.gov/policy/frsystem/default.cfm by clicking on the 2012 Final Rules under Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. _______________________________________________________________________________________________
