General Information
The Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society (PNHS) is a non-profit organi-
zation registered with the State of Washington. PNHS is dedicated to the
education of its members and the public, as well as the conservation, ecol-
ogy, 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 at-

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:

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.
