Letter from the President By Brenda Huber Vol. 27, No.6

Continued...

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.

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,

Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

animal rescues, and emergency preparedness organizations. The Direc-

tor from Public Health actually commented on our ubiquitous sanitiz-

ing 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, includ-

ing the producer of “Adventure TV.” (Stay tuned for more information

when we see what evolves.) Thank you to all Outreach Section partici-

pants. You were extraordinary!

Thank you to Dave Coleburn and the Predators of the Heart team

(www.PredatorsOfTheHeart.com) for putting

on five entertaining shows with a packed

house each time. (I must admit, his routine

when he brought out the skunk was LOL

every time…) It was a privilege to see so

many beautiful crea-

tures 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.

Letter From The President Continued….

...most of all, to our very

own PNHS volunteers,

a big thank you for making the Emerald

City Reptile Expo 2012 a

raging success!

Speaking of the photo booth, a huge thank you to the DigiPen Univer-

sity 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 legisla-

tion 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 Ed-

monds (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-

tain sectors of the economy. Enough said.

Most of all, to our very own PNHS volun-

teers, a big thank you for making the Emerald

City Reptile Expo 2012 a raging success. We

came together all across the membership,

from brand new members to some of us “old

hats” and worked wonders to-

gether. We all must share the accolades for putting a

positive spin on herps for the public to witness and en-

joy. Congratulations to everyone!

Emerald City Reptile Expo:

“Guess Donatello’s Weight” Contest Winners

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”

“Tubbatello:” Containing Donatello prior to his stage debut at

Seattle Center’s Science Expo Day Stage

proved rather difficult...

Saturday and Sunday at the Emerald City Reptile

Expo each had a contest for kids: “Guess Do-

natello’s Weight.”

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Do-

natello’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.

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 per-

haps 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 member-

ship 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 pro-

tections for dozens of rare and vanishing reptiles and amphibians in

the southeast U.S.A.

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 rep-

tiles. “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 spe-

cies, in the Southeast. In 2011 the Fish and Wildlife Service determined

that 25 of these amphibians and reptiles “may warrant” protection as

endangered species but has failed to make required 12-month findings

to decide whether to give them federal protection.

“Amphibians and reptiles are facing an extinction crisis in the Southeast

and across the globe,” said Adkins Giese. “These animals simply cannot

afford any more bureaucratic delays.”

In the United States, scores of amphibian and reptile species are at risk of extinction. Yet rep-

tiles 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.

tion crisis, visit:

ford any more

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 collec-

tion, 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, Mary-

land, 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 popu-

lation 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

Vol. 27, No. 6

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 Spe-

cies 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 discov-

ered 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 per-

cent), and those two countries hold the majority of the potentially suitable habitat (81 per-

cent) 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 speci-

mens 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 un-

der 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

will remain in CITES Appendix I. Continued…..

Morelet’s Crocodile Continued...

Vol. 27, No. 6

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. cap-

tive-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 coun-

try finds that the export will not be detrimental to the species, the specimen was lawfully ac-

quired 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 effec-

tive 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.
