In contrast to blue racers, eastern fox snakes were often found under front porches, in barns/garages, and in the foundations of houses; whereas, most (but not all) blue racers were observed in more "natural" settings. Therefore, blue racers are more confined to areas with minimal anthropogenic activity. Campbell and Perrin also noted that ...

This park also provides habitat for 33 species of reptiles and amphibians, including the five lined skink, eastern hognose snake, the eastern fox snake, and the threatened eastern Massasauga rattlesnake. [5] Some of the more isolated islands provide nesting areas for colonies of gulls and terns.
This is a checklist of American reptiles found in Northern America, based primarily on publications by the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles (SSAR). [1] [2] [3] It includes all species of Bermuda, Canada, Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and the United States including recently introduced species such as chameleons, the Nile monitor, and the Burmese python.
