habitat enhancement - How to find reptiles and Amphibians

Type: Interesting

Description:
Placing pieces of metal roofing strategically around your property can enhance the habitat for amphibians and reptiles and is an easy and fun way to find and see them. In this video I explain how I place scrape pieces of metal roofing in particular locations around my property. I show you what I have found so far under these pieces! Metal roofing, pieces of plywood can all be used to enhance habitat for reptiles and amphibians. In this video, i find dusky salamanders, spring salamanders and crayfish below pieces of roof. Many of these are terretorial and will occupy these locations over the year. I also included video of Black Snakes when my find below them and show how I attract American Toads to my house as well. These are some great ways to enhance wildlife habitat in your yard or property. My channel is all about teaching in the outdoors, natural history education, hands-on outdoor learning and environmental education. Every video is packed full of content about the plants and animals you can find....right outside your door.
