  • (Tantilla Oolitica) in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties, Florida
    Assessment of the Status and Distribution of the Endemic Rim Rock Crowned Snake (Tantilla oolitica) in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties, Florida Final Report Grant Agreement #401817G006 Kirsten N. Hines and Keith A. Bradley July 10, 2009 Submitted by: The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue, Miami, FL 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Submitted to: Paula Halupa Fish and Wildlife Biologist U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1339 20th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 1 Project Background: The rim rock crowned snake (Tantilla oolitica) is one of three species of small, burrowing snakes within the genus Tantilla found in Florida. Of the more than 40 species of this genus extending from the southeastern United States down to northern Argentina in South America, T. oolitica has the most limited distribution (Wilson 1982, Scott 2004). Confined to the Miami Rock Ridge in southeastern Miami-Dade County and parts of the Florida Keys in Monroe County, this species has been greatly affected by the rapid urbanization of this area. By 1975 it had already made the Florida State list of threatened species and it is currently considered a candidate for the Federal Endangered Species List. Traditionally, T. oolitica habitat included rockland hammocks and pine rocklands. Less than 2% of the pine rocklands on the Miami Rock Ridge currently remain (Snyder et. al 1990, USFWS 1999) and rockland hammocks both in Miami-Dade County and throughout the Florida Keys have been reduced to less than half their original extent and continue to face threat of development (Enge et. al 1997, USFWS 1999).
