Keep Herp Calendar free
Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.
Snakes
Queensnake
Regina septemvittata
Description
The queen snake (Regina septemvittata) is a species of nonvenomous semiaquatic snake, a member of the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae. The queen snake is similar in appearance to a garter snake, genus Thamnophis, so is often confused with that group.Wikipedia ↗
Habitat
Regina septemvittata ranges through the temperate region of North America east of the Mississippi River from western New York state to Wisconsin and south to Alabama and northern Florida. Decreases in queen snake populations can be most attributed to a loss of food sources through stream channelization, bank erosion, and water pollution.Wikipedia ↗
When it's active
Breeding takes place in the spring and autumn months. If mating was in the autumn, the female can delay giving birth until spring, storing the energy she will need through the months that she will be in a period of brumation.Wikipedia ↗
