"Canada's reptiles face 2 primary threats to their continued well-being: humans and cold weather. As for the threat of cold weather, reptiles have evolved and adapted to persist in the upper half of North America. For the past several thousand years they have successfully taken care of themselves in the face of Canada's climate. But the human threat is new and unrelenting-therein lies the problem faced by reptiles in Canada today." J. Whitfield Gibbons, Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.
