  • Rubber Boas in Radium Hot Springs: Habitat, Inventory, and Management Strategies
    Rubber Boas in Radium Hot Springs: Habitat, Inventory, and Management Strategies ROBERT C. ST. CLAIR1 AND ALAN DIBB2 19809 92 Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T6E 2V4, Canada, email [email protected] 2Parks Canada, Box 220, Radium Hot Springs, BC, V0A 1M0, Canada Abstract: Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia is home to a population of rubber boas (Charina bottae). This population is of ecological and physiological interest because the hot springs seem to be a thermal resource for the boas, which are near the northern limit of their range. This population also presents a dilemma to park management because the site is a major tourist destination and provides habitat for the rubber boa, which is listed as a species of Special Concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). An additional dilemma is that restoration projects, such as prescribed logging and burning, may increase available habitat for the species but kill individual snakes. Successful management of the population depends on monitoring the population, assessing the impacts of restoration strategies, and mapping both summer and winter habitat. Hibernation sites may be discovered only by using radiotelemetry to follow individuals. Key Words: rubber boa, Charina bottae, Radium Hot Springs, hot springs, snakes, habitat, restoration, Kootenay National Park, British Columbia Introduction The presence of rubber boas (Charina bottae) at Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia (B.C.) presents some unusual challenges for wildlife managers because the site is a popular tourist resort and provides habitat for the species, which is listed as a species of Special Concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC 2004).

  • Rosy Boas Can Be Housed in a 10 Gallon Zilla® Critter Cage® Product
    Husbandry Handbook Housing Housing must be sealed and escape proof. Hatchling Rosy Boas can be housed in a 10 gallon Zilla® Critter Cage® product. Adults will require a minimum of a Rosy Boa 20L Zilla® Critter Cage® product. While Rosy Boas can reach a length of 36", they are terrestrial and don’t need a tall tank. Provide Rosy Boas with substrates that enable burrowing such as Zilla® Lizard Litter. Decorate the tank with driftwood, Lichanura trivirgata rocks, logs and other décor for ample basking and hiding opportunities. Geographical Variation Temperature and Humidity Rosy Boas are one of two species of boidae in the United States, the other being It is important to create a thermal gradient (or a warm side) in the cage/ the Rubber Boa. One very unique characteristic of Rosy Boas is that their color enclosure. This can be done with an appropriate sized Zilla® Heat Mat adhered and patterns vary greatly depending on where they live. Most have lateral striping to the bottom of the tank on one side. Ideal temperatures for Rosy Boas range in two different colors but a few have a reticulated granite pattern. Many experts from 65-75°F on the cool side and 80-85°F on the warm side. Provide a basking can tell exactly where the snake came from just based on its coloration and area on the warm side around 90-95°F. Using a Zilla® Mini Heat & UVB Fixture pattern. Around Morongo Valley, CA, they are striped with bright orange and with a Zilla® 50W Mini Halogen bulb and a Zilla® Desert Mini Compact blue/grey but in the Maricopa Mountains of AZ they are striped with deep brown Fluorescent UVB Bulb will provide the correct heat and UV for your Rosy Boa to and cream white.

  • Life History Account for Northern Rubber
    California Wildlife Habitat Relationships System California Department of Fish and Wildlife California Interagency Wildlife Task Group NORTHERN RUBBER BOA Charina bottae Family: BOIDAE Order: SQUAMATA Class: REPTILIA R046 Written by: S. Morey, H. Basey Reviewed by: T. Papenfuss Edited by: R. Duke Updated by: CWHR Program Staff, March 2002 and November 2014 DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND SEASONALITY The northern rubber boa is uncommon to common in suitable habitats. Occurs throughout the Sierra from Ventura Co. north, across the northern part of the state and in the Coast Ranges south nearly to Point Conception. Elevational range is from sea level to 2740 m (9040 ft). Found in a variety of montane forest habitats including red fir, ponderosa pine, hardwood, hardwood-conifer, Douglas fir, redwood, mixed conifer and riparian. Also found in montane chaparral and wet meadow habitats, usually, in the vicinity of streams. A geographically isolated race, once included in this species, was recently updated to the new species C. umbratica (Rodríguez-Robles et al. 2001). It appears to be extremely uncommon and is apparently restricted to the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mts. (Erwin 1974). SPECIFIC HABITAT REQUIREMENTS Feeding: Food consists primarily of small mammals and lizards (Stebbins 1954, though, it may occasionally take smaller snakes (Linder 1963) and Ensatina (Macey 1983). Cover: The rubber boa is an extremely secretive snake seeking cover in rotting logs, pieces of bark, boards, rocks, and other surface debris. Burrows through loose soil or decaying vegetation. Occasionally climbs. Reproduction: Young are born in loose, well aerated soil, under surface objects, or within rotting logs. Water: No additional information on water requirements.

  • 2018 Northern Rubber
    Environmental and Economical Solutions Memorandum Date: December 3, 2018 To: Leanne Bilodeau, Associate Director Sustainability – UBCO Campus Planning and Development From: Carmen Chelick, M.Sc., and Mary Ann Olson-Russello, M.Sc., R.P.Bio. File: 18-2672 Subject: Information pertaining to Northern Rubber Boa presence at the UBCO Campus, Kelowna, BC 1.0 INTRODUCTION Ecoscape Environmental Consultants Ltd. (Ecoscape) was retained by the Campus Planning and Development Department at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) to provide environmental consulting services pertaining to the presence of Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) on the Okanagan campus. The Rubber Boa was reportedly observed on October 8, 2018 by Briana All, M.Sc. Biology student, and Robert Lalonde, Associate Professor of Biology. The Rubber Boa was observed at the top of a set of stairs near the Upper Cascade student residences (Figure 1; Photo 1). The Rubber Boa was subsequently moved to a location within the open Ponderosa pine forest adjacent to the Pine Trail in the northwest region of the campus (Figure 1; Photo 2). This intact forest pocket is surrounded by human disturbance; a golf course to the north, an agricultural field and John Hindle Drive to the west, UBCO campus to the east and south, and a walking trail bisecting the forest. Northern Rubber Boas (herein referred to as Rubber Boa) are found in the southern interior of BC and as far north as Williams Lake and south into Washington, Oregon, northern California and west to Montana (Environment Canada, 2016). Although Rubber Boa populations are impacted by human-induced habitat loss, their low reproductive rates and thermoregulation requirements also contribute to their small population sizes.

  • Northern Rubber Boa - Charina Bottae Abundance: Rare Status: NSS3 (Bb) Natureserve: G5 S2 Population Status: Vulnerable
    Northern Rubber Boa - Charina bottae Abundance: Rare Status: NSS3 (Bb) NatureServe: G5 S2 Population Status: Vulnerable. Restricted in numbers and distribution, extirpation is not eminent. Limiting Factor: Habitat: the low elevation forested habitat for this species is limited, but loss is not increasing significantly. Comment: None. Introduction In Wyoming, Northern Rubber Boas inhabit the northwest corner of the state, south into Star Valley and east to the Bighorn Mountains. A secretive and mostly nocturnal snake, it often spends its time beneath logs, flat rocks, tree bark, and in stumps and rodent burrows (Baxter and Stone 1985, Ernst and Ernst 2003). They are usually active from dusk and throughout the night, from April to November (Ernst and Ernst 2003). Northern Rubber Boas may only emerge nocturnally once every eight days (Dorcas and Peterson 1998). They hibernate during the winter in talus slopes, deep rock crevices, rodent burrows, and logs (Ernst and Ernst 2003). Northern Rubber Boas can swim, burrow, and climb well (Stebbins 2003). They feed on small mammals (shrews, mice, voles, moles, and pocket gophers), lizards, birds, salamanders, and reptile eggs (Baxter and Stone 1985, Ernst and Ernst 2003, Stebbins 2003). Northern Rubber Boas bear 1 to 10 live young, born from August to November, and may live up to 40 or 50 years in the field (Ernst and Ernst 2003, Stebbins 2003). They are highly prized by the pet industry due to their calm nature. Habitat Northern Rubber Boas are found in the foothills and lower montane zone of Wyoming and prefer areas with nearby water and an abundance of flat rocks, logs, stumps, and boulders (Baxter and Stone 1985, Ernst and Ernst 2003).

  • Southern Rubber Boa
    South Coast Red-Sided Garter Southern Sagebrush Lizard Snake Southern Rubber Boa Southern Rubber Boa (Charina umbratica) Management Status Heritage Status Rank: G5T2T3S2S3 Federal: USDA Forest Service Region 5 Regional Forester's Sensitive Species State: Threatened Other: None General Distribution Four populations of rubber boa are known to occur south of the Sierra Nevada. These populations are in the Tehachapi Mountains, Kern County; the Mt. Pinos area (including Mt. Abel and Alamo Mountain), straddling the Kern/Ventura County line; the San Bernardino Mountains in San Bernardino County; and the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County (Hoyer and Stewart 2000). Distribution in the Planning Area The southern rubber boa is found in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains at elevations of 5,050–8,070 feet (1,540–2,460 meters) (Stewart 1988). Approximately eight localities are known in the San Jacinto Mountains (including Fern Valley, Dark Canyon, Devil's Slide trail, and the North Fork San Jacinto River near the Highway 243 crossing); and over 40 locations are known in the San Bernardino Mountains (Loe 1985, Stewart 1990). Twenty-six of the localities in the San Bernardino Mountains are in a 10-mile (16-kilometer) strip between Twin Peaks on the west and Green Valley on the east (Stewart 1988). Other locations include Barton Flats, north-facing slopes immediately south of Big Bear Lake (Stephenson and Calcarone 1999), and the vicinity of Oak Glen Conservation Camp at the southern end of the San Bernardino Mountains (Loe pers. comm.). Systematics Three subspecies of rubber boa were recognized (Stebbins 1985), although elevation of the southern rubber boa to the specific level has been proposed (Hoyer 2001).
