Resident Herptofauna




Bird Banding

Basking Prop was at too steep of an angle, so i took a couple inches off each leg to make it easier for the turtle to get on.

Constructed with wood and covered with Zoopoxy to provide a basking platform as well as a hide for Norther Copperhead and Timber Rattlesnake

Made with a PVC pipe and Zoopoxy, to provide a suitable hiding place for the Hellbender while also allowing visitors to view it.
