encoded: UPDATE 12/15/25: ALERT! The County Commissioners voted to ban ALL lizards, ALL amphibians, hedgehogs, and more. They chose to totally dismiss legitimate science by using false taxonomic classifications. There has not been enough opposition. USARK requested a hearing, but the Commissioners refused to allow a public hearing on this issue, even though this was a new draft. Five people stayed and spoke in opposition at the end of the meeting, including USARK’s Phil Goss, with no one testifying in support. While the simple fact that the proposal uses fictitious and incorrect taxonomy, has redundancies, closes down businesses, bans all lizards, and more were plainly presented to the Commissioners, they chose to move forward. One commissioner said, “I don’t think this goes far enough.” The ordinance does list humans as an exempt species that can be owned, but you cannot own a leopard gecko. The “grandfather” clause requires an annual license that is $250 for the first animal and $100 for each additional animal. Owning 10 grandfathered “exotic animals” will be $1,150 annually in county permit fees. This is scheduled for a second vote on January 5, 2026. We need animal and academic professionals to contact the Commissioners immediately to point out the unscientific nature of the ordinance (including use of “races of animals,” family Marsupialia that does not exist, and more), and responsible animal owners need to address the overreaching bans on very common pets, such as geckos, bearded dragons, tree frogs, axolotls, and more. All lizards and amphibians are banned as none are listed in the “Exempted Animals” list, which therefore bans them by default. Meeting: January 6, 2026, at 6:30 PM in the Lincoln County Admin Building, 353 N. Generals Blvd., Lincolnton, NC 28092 Take action and read more at https://usark.org/25nc/. <a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Freptilesmagazine.com%2Fusark-lincoln-county-nc-c…

encoded: Researchers have described a new species of shield tail snake from the Western Ghats mountains of India. The snake was found in the Siruvani Hills in the Central and Western Ghats mountains of India. It is in the family Uropeltidae, which are known as the shield tail snakes. They are named as such because they feature a thick, flattened tail that is heavily keratinized, or strengthened by keratin, to create a tough structural tail that helps with burrowing and defense. 5 Invertebrate-Eating Snakes The snake differs from its congeners due to biogeographic and molecular phylogenetic distinctiveness. It features a lustrous, dark brownish black coloration with a creamy white bottom with irregular patches and brownish black blotches. Juveniles of the species measure between 120-140mm in length, while adults are estimated to measure 304mm, or one foot in length. <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-125621" class="wp-image-125621 size-large" src="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-650x532.jpg" alt="Rhinophis siruvaniensis" width="650" height="532" srcset="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-650x532.jpg 650w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-400x328.jpg 400w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-250x205.jpg 250w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-768x629.jpg 768w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-1536x1258.jpg 1536w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-150x123.jpg 150w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-800x655.jpg 800w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-1200x983.jpg 1200w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296-1600x1310.jpg 1600w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/oo_1442296.jpg 1961w" sizes="(m…

encoded: In a phenomenon reminiscent of the release of Finding Nemo back in 2003, which spurred, sadly the fad sales of blue tang reef fish and clown fish, the release of Zootopia 2 in China has spurred interest and demand for the live equivalent of Gary the blue snake, which apparently was modeled after a blue pit viper. The online sales of the blue Indonesian pit viper (Trimeresurus insularis) apparently soared after the November 26 release of the movie, according to The Outlet, a Shanghai, China based newspaper, via Sixth Tone. The Outlet reported there was a wave of people trying to dissuade others from acquiring the venomous reptile, noting the dangers that these snakes can be to those without venomous snake-keeping experience, while another commented about the message the film was purported to have made. “The power of a good film is remarkable. It’s genuinely changed how I view snakes, animals I used to fear and was biased against,” the commenter said. Sixth Tone later checked the online platforms and noted that Xiaohongshu and Douyin, which is the Chinese version of TikTok, do not allow the sale of wildlife and venomous animals. Violations of these policies would lead to account bans. A second check found that most blue pit viper listings had been removed from the sales platforms. Postal regulations also prohibit the mailing of live and toxic items, making the shipping of these pit vipers illegal, according to Sixth Tone.

encoded: Gamma, a Galapagos tortoise (Chelonoidis sp.) who arrived at the San Diego Zoo between 1928-1931 died November 20. She was estimated to be about 141 years old. She was one of the first group of tortoises to come to the zoo from the Galapagos Islands where she was born. According to an Instagram post on the zoo’s IG page, Gamma was a shy tortoise who observed the creation and evolution of the zoo, lived through more than 20 U.S. presidencies, two World Wars and two pandemics. She lived for nearly 100 years at the San Diego Zoo and met and worked with hundreds of thousands of zoo team members, guests, volunteers and conservationists, the zoo wrote. Known as the “Queen of the Zoo” by her care specialists, she has been photographed during the early days of photography as well as in the current social media climate that permeated the world today. She was a fan of romaine lettuce and cactus fruit, and in her honor, the zoo encourages youth enjoy a fruit filled salad of your own to celebrate her long and storied life. History of the Galapagos Tortoise Galapagos Tortoise Information The Galapagos tortoise is considered threatened by the IUCN. It is the largest tortoise species on earth, with an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 giant tortoise species left in the wild, including all 11 subspecies. They can live well over 100 years and can weigh upward of 900 lbs, reaching sexual maturity at 20 to 30 years. REPTILES magazine covered the discovery of a living subspecies, Chelonoidis niger phantasticus in February 2021. You can read that article here.

encoded: In the United States and in other regions around the world, many common and successful species fall into the rat snake family. They are also very popular with reptile keepers due to their attractive colors and capability to thrive in captivity. Because they are fairly common in many parts of the world, Rat snakes may not garner much attention. However, there is one rat snake species in my collection that always attracts attention and captures the interest of my guests. The Trans-Pecos rat snake (Bogertophis subocularis) is a unique and attractive species indeed, with their distinctive and attractive coloration, docile nature, pink tongues and large, inquisitive eyes. When I ask friends and guests which of the snake species in my collection is their favorite, the Trans-Pecos rat snakes often get lots of votes. I guess you could say, “The ‘eyes’ have it.” <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-125601" class="wp-image-125601 size-full" src="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000.jpg" alt="Trans pecos rat snake" width="1000" height="699" srcset="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000.jpg 1000w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000-400x280.jpg 400w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000-650x454.jpg 650w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000-250x175.jpg 250w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000-768x537.jpg 768w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000-150x105.jpg 150w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trans-pecos-rat-snake-axanthic-David-Powell1000-800x559.jpg 8…

The tortoise was released back into the wild after the observer took photographs of the reptile. It was released after it was deemed healthy as there are no facilities in lebanon that could care for it legally.

encoded: UPDATE 11/26/25: Lincoln County has released a new proposal. It would ban (list below) many animal species. To obscure the issue, there is also a long exempt species list. This means all species not on the exempt list would still be prohibited (so the exempt list is rather pointless and just makes this ordinance more difficult for law enforcement officers). There is a grandfather provision for animals currently held. For the listed venomous reptiles, constrictor snakes, and venomous insects, a grandfather permit would allow “the number permitted to remain under any future renewal” (meaning that if 20 animals are on your permit, you can always have up to 20). For all other prohibited animals, the grandfather provision only applies to animals held at the time of the permit. Lincoln County has released a new proposal. It would ban many animal species, including rock iguanas and some constrictor snakes. Note that state law already regulates listed constrictor snakes, venomous reptiles, and crocodilians under North Carolina. Gen. Stat. § 14-416. Possession of native mammals and birds is covered under 15A NCAC 10H.1404. MEETING: December 1 at 6:30 PM. Lincoln County Admin Building, 353 N.

This will enable these tortoises to roam in their natural habitat unimpeded. Before the tortoises were released, they were quarantined and given clean bills of health. They were monitored and microchipped for the Seychelles national tortoise census. They were also fed a strict diet of native leaves to eliminate the spread of invasive plant species. When they were transported to North Island, the tortoises underwent a second quarantine and health check to ensure the island’s biosecurity protocols were met. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-125581" class="wp-image-125581 size-full" src="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Tortoise-Alliance-moving-a-tortoise-from-quarantine-S-Albert1000.jpg" alt="aldabra tortoise" width="1000" height="1328" srcset="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Tortoise-Alliance-moving-a-tortoise-from-quarantine-S-Albert1000.jpg 1000w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Tortoise-Alliance-moving-a-tortoise-from-quarantine-S-Albert1000-400x531.jpg 400w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Tortoise-Alliance-moving-a-tortoise-from-quarantine-S-Albert1000-650x863.jpg 650w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Tortoise-Alliance-moving-a-tortoise-from-quarantine-S-Albert1000-250x332.jpg 250w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Tortoise-Alliance-moving-a-tortoise-from-quarantine-S-Albert1000-768x1020.jpg 768w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-Baxter-from-Indian-Ocean-Torto…

The lizard, Diploderma bifluviale sp. nov. is currently known to exist in semi-arid scrublands in the region’s warm and dry valleys at elevations of 2,187–2,525 meters, the researchers wrote in their paper. This habitat, the researchers note, is distinct from its closest relatives. It is the 49th species in its genus. Field Surveys The researchers conducted field surveys of the species in Sichuan Province from August 2018 to May 2023. Photographs and measurements were taken when the specimens were alive before they were molecularly and phylogenetically analyzed to determine they were a new species. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-125573" class="wp-image-125573 size-full" src="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale-.jpg" alt="Diploderma bifluviale" width="1000" height="1414" srcset="https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale-.jpg 1000w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale--400x566.jpg 400w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale--650x919.jpg 650w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale--250x354.jpg 250w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale--768x1086.jpg 768w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale--150x212.jpg 150w, https://reptilesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Diploderma-bifluviale--800x1131.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /> Holotype of Diploderma bifluviale sp. nov. in life.
