These little guys are hatching and making their way. These baby Snapping Turtles are finding cover away from predators in the re-wilded habitat along the Millpond berm today. Please watch your step whether riding or walking.

Snapping Turtles lay their eggs late spring and early summer, and then the eggs hatch late August or into October.

Status: Special Concern

A couple of weeks ago we spotted this hatchling Milksnake snakelet on an outing in the Baxter Creek watershed. It was about 15-20 cm long.

Milksnakes have been known to reproduce on properties across the watershed and their eggs hatch late summer into early autumn. Please keep your eyes out whether walking or riding so they do not get stepped on or run over especially as they like to sun on open trails and areas.

These critters benefit the ecosystem in many ways. Milksnakes got their name from an old, false myth that the snake sneaks into barns to drink milk straight from cows! Milksnakes actually visit barns because barns are full of rodents, which are the snake's favorite food.
