Natural Resources: Amphibians and Reptiles

The habitats of reptiles and amphibians vary widely by species. Salamanders are typically associated with cool damp areas, including caves and mountain streams. Frogs require ponds or other still water for breeding purposes. Most reptiles prefer dry upland sites, the perfect habitat for such species as the broadhead skink, box turtle, and rat snake.
