RECALL ALERT - Recall for Tetra ReptoMin in Hawaii Last week a small batch of Tetra ReptoMin had a recall issued for potential salmonella issues. Below you will find the information on it. The DOH advised consumers to check if they purchased the recalled products based on the UPC marking on the label and lot code printed on the bottom at the plastic container. The product is packaged in a plastic 1.56-ounce container with a green label and a Universal Product Code number 0 46798 78626 9 and a lot code of 951790. No other lots or product lines via Spectrum Brands are affected and may continue to be used. As of right now, it appears that the recall is restricted solely to Hawaii, but we will keep watching to see if it spreads. For more information on the recall and what to do if you are impacted click here. Wednesday, June 4 2025Herp Photo of the Day: Ringneck Snake

Friday, May 23 2025Learning to appreciate Rattlesnakes Recently a local outdoors expert spent a little time with biologists and conservation officers in Pennsylvania for a training session on timber rattlesnakes and he came back with a little different perspective on the animals. Spurred by memories of a childhood show on native rattlesnakes from "Pennsylvania Outdoor Life" on his local TV station that he watched with his father, he hooked up with the host after retirement to relive one of the episodes visiting a local forest to count, tag and also train conservation officers in handling and identification skills. The truth about rattlesnakes, I learned, is that these are normally docile animals that just want to be left alone. But they get feisty when disturbed and manhandled. It's a nice light read where you see someone understand why we love these animals. You feel fear turn to respect. There are some wonderful photos of the training sessions as well. One of the hardest parts of saving our venomous snakes is overcoming the stimgas and fears that people have with them. Stories like this go far to helping that! Check the full article out here!
