Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of Metro Re 1111 I litan Minnesota- Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
2 Guide to the Herpetofauna of Metropolitan Minnesota Region 6 January 1, 1979 This preliminary guide has been prepared as a reference to the occurrence and distribution of reptil~s and amphibians of Region 6 in the Metropolitan area of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Taonomy and identification are based on "A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians" by Roger Conant (Second Edition, 1975). Figure 1 is a map of the region. Counties Included: Washington. Turtles Common snapping turtle *Wood turtle *False map turtle Map turtle Western painted turtle *Blanding's turtle Smooth softshell Western spiny softshell Lizards Northern prairie skink *Si-lined racerunner Snakes Red-bellied snake Teas brown (DeKay's) snake Northern water snake Western plains garter snake Red-sided garter snake} s.s.

3 Summary -2- A total of 34 species have been recorded in. Region 6. for the eastern garter snake and chorus frog. Two subspecies eist Species of special interest in this region include the wood turtle, false map turtle, Blanding's turtle, si-lined racerunner, central newt, blue racer, and western smooth green snake. Any sightings of these species should be documented and sent to the nongame supervisor. County records for this region are given on the following pages. If you encounter any new county records, the speciman should be captured and either photographed from several angles or preserved in isopropyl alcohol. The best identification record for frogs and toads is a recording of the call. Record the collector's name and address, date, county, township, range, section number (or distance and direction from the nearest town), and the habitat in which the animal was found. The nongame supervisor should be contacted concerning disposition of specimens. Unless otherwise specified, all county records on the following pages are derived from Reptiles and Amphibians of Minnesota by Walter J. Breckenridge.
