3.13.8 Reptiles
Minor revisions have been made to the Reptile SGCN list to incorporate state or federal listing status changes. In October 2017 the state listing status for six reptiles was updated and includes new listings for Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake , Carolina Swamp Snake, Cumberland Slider, and Eastern Chicken Turtle (NCAC 2017). All updates are provided in a table in Appendix GA1-7. Table 3A1-7 is a list of the changes to SGCN status included in this minor update to the 2015 NCWAP. The list provides federal/state listing status as well as Regional SGCN status designated by SEAFWA. Red text is used to indicate the changes made in this update. A complete updated list of all SGCN is provided in Appendix PA1.
