Eastern Foxsnake: What You Can Do to Help Saving Eastern Foxsnake: What you can do to help The Eastern Foxsnake (Pantherophis gloydi) is the second largest snake in Ontario. It is yellow to light brown with large brown or black blotches down its back that alternate with smaller blotches along its sides. It may have a reddish brown head with dark bars around the eyes and a yellow chin. Its belly is yellow with a black checkered pattern. The scales of the Eastern Foxsnake are lightly keeled (rough to the touch). Do you live near Eastern Foxsnakes?

It lives in old fields, prairies, The Eastern Foxsnake can be confused with marshes, dune shorelines, hedgerows bordering other blotched snakes.

  • Wild Species 2010 the GENERAL STATUS of SPECIES in CANADA
    Wild Species 2010 THE GENERAL STATUS OF SPECIES IN CANADA Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council National General Status Working Group This report is a product from the collaboration of all provincial and territorial governments in Canada, and of the federal government. Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council (CESCC). 2011. Wild Species 2010: The General Status of Species in Canada. National General Status Working Group: 302 pp. Available in French under title: Espèces sauvages 2010: La situation générale des espèces au Canada. ii Abstract Wild Species 2010 is the third report of the series after 2000 and 2005. The aim of the Wild Species series is to provide an overview on which species occur in Canada, in which provinces, territories or ocean regions they occur, and what is their status. Each species assessed in this report received a rank among the following categories: Extinct (0.2), Extirpated (0.1), At Risk (1), May Be At Risk (2), Sensitive (3), Secure (4), Undetermined (5), Not Assessed (6), Exotic (7) or Accidental (8). In the 2010 report, 11 950 species were assessed. Many taxonomic groups that were first assessed in the previous Wild Species reports were reassessed, such as vascular plants, freshwater mussels, odonates, butterflies, crayfishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Other taxonomic groups are assessed for the first time in the Wild Species 2010 report, namely lichens, mosses, spiders, predaceous diving beetles, ground beetles (including the reassessment of tiger beetles), lady beetles, bumblebees, black flies, horse flies, mosquitoes, and some selected macromoths. The overall results of this report show that the majority of Canada’s wild species are ranked Secure.

  • Which Habitat Selection Method Is Most Applicable to Snakes? Case Studies of the Eastern Massasauga (Sistrurus Catenatus) and Eastern Fox Snake (Pantherophis Gloydi)
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 6(3):372–382. Submitted: 19 January 2011; Accepted: 13 October 2011; Published: 31 December 2011. WHICH HABITAT SELECTION METHOD IS MOST APPLICABLE TO SNAKES? CASE STUDIES OF THE EASTERN MASSASAUGA (SISTRURUS CATENATUS) AND EASTERN FOX SNAKE (PANTHEROPHIS GLOYDI) 1,2 1 1 BRETT A. DEGREGORIO , BRIAN J. PUTMAN , AND BRUCE A. KINGSBURY 1Center for Reptile and Amphibian Conservation, Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805, USA, e-mail: [email protected] 2University of Illinois at Champaign–Urbana, Urbana, Illinois 61801, USA. Abstract.—Successful species conservation is dependent upon understanding that the habitat preferences of species occur on multiple spatial scales; however, effective synthesis of findings between studies can be hindered by the use of different methods. We applied two habitat selection analyses to two sets of snake radiotelemetry data, which led to differences in results. We discuss perceived strengths and weaknesses of each approach and how they can be used in future studies of snakes. Compositional Analysis (CA) is a classification-based approach, while Euclidean Distance Analysis (EDA) is a distance-based approach. Each method detected non-random habitat selection on both the landscape and home range level, indicating that both Eastern Massasaugas (Sistrurus catenatus) and Eastern Fox Snakes (Pantherophis gloydi) made habitat selection choices at multiple spatial scales. Eastern Massasaugas used a mosaic of habitat types but were consistently associated with forest edge and scrub-shrub wetland, while Eastern Fox Snakes were most often associated with upland edge and old field habitat types. The two methods drew different conclusions, however, and complete understanding of habitat associations may require the use of both methods, taking into account the limitations of each.
