From HandWiki
Short description: none

Reptiles in Quebec are classified into two orders: Testudines — the turtles — and Squamata — the snakes. There are eleven species of turtles classified in five families, including two exotic species. The snake species, numbering nine, are classified in four families, and include one species whose presence remains to be confirmed.

Testudines

Photo Names
(common / scientific) 		IUCN Status Notes Distribution map
Family Chelydridae
125px Common snapping turtle
Chelydra serpentina 		LC The AARQ reports observations in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, around Lac Saint-Jean, and in the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Common and widespread in Quebec.[1] However, COSEWIC considers the status of this species of special concern.[2] 125px
Family Kinosternidae
125px Common musk turtle
Sternotherus odoratus 		LC This species is designated as threatened in Quebec and is found only in the Outaouais, along the Ottawa River, between Portage-du-Fort and the locality of Quyon, as well as between Gatineau and Plaisance National Park.[3] The first record of the species in the province dates from 1989.[4] COSEWIC considers the status of this species of special concern.[5] 100px
Family Emydidae
125px Painted turtle
Chrysemys picta 		LC Common and widespread in Quebec.[1] However, COSEWIC considers the status of the subspecies C. p. picta of special concern.[6] The painted turtle is the only reptile resistant to freezing.[7][8] 125px
125px Northern map turtle
Graptemys geographica 		LC This species is designated as vulnerable in Quebec.[3] COSEWIC considers the status of this species of special concern.[9] 125px
125px Blanding's turtle
Emydoidea blandingii 		EN This species is designated as threatened in Quebec.[3] COSEWIC considers this species endangered.[10] 125px
125px Wood turtle
Glyptemys insculpta 		EN This species is designated as vulnerable in Quebec.[3] COSEWIC considers this species threatened.[11] 125px
125px Spotted turtle
Clemmys guttata 		EN This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] COSEWIC considers this species endangered.[12] 125px
125px Red-eared slider
Trachemys scripta elegans 		LC Exotic species. It has not been proven to have established permanently in Quebec, although there are numerous observations in nature from individuals released from captivity.[8] 125px
125px Common box turtle
Terrapene carolina 		VU Exotic species that is not established in Quebec. A few individuals, probably released from captivity, have been observed in the wild.[13] 125px
Family Trionychidae
125px Eastern spiny softshell
Apalone spinifera 		LC This species is designated as threatened in Quebec.[3] The only known population in the province is found in Lake Champlain and some of its tributaries.[14] COSEWIC considers this species endangered.[15] 125px
Family Dermochelyidae
125px Leatherback sea turtle
Dermochelys coriacea 		VU This species is designated as threatened in Quebec.[3] COSEWIC considers the Atlantic population of this species endangered.[16] Its presence in Quebec is limited to a few observations in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.[8] 125px

Squamata

Photo Names
(common / scientific) 		IUCN Status Notes Distribution map
Family Natricidae
125px Common garter snake
Thamnophis sirtalis 		LC The most common, widespread, and northernmost snake in Quebec.[1][8] 100px
125px Eastern ribbon snake
Thamnophis sauritus 		LC This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] Rare, the few observations come from southern Outaouais.[1] The first record in Quebec was reported in 2003.[17] 125px
125px Northern water snake
Nerodia sipedon 		LC This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec. The majority of observations come from the Outaouais.[1] 125px
125px Northern red-bellied snake
Storeria occipitomaculata 		LC Common and widespread in Quebec.[1] 125px
125px De Kay's brown snake
Storeria dekayi 		LC This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] Rare species. Observations come from the greater Montreal region.[1] 100px
Family Colubridae
125px Smooth green snake
Opheodrys vernalis 		LC This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] 125px
125px Eastern milksnake
Lampropeltis triangulum 		LC This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] COSEWIC considers the status of this species of special concern.[18] 125px
Family Dipsadidae
125px Northern ringneck snake
Diadophis punctatus 		LC This species is likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] 100px
Family Viperidae
125px Timber rattlesnake
Crotalus horridus 		LC Borderline species. Unconfirmed observations of this species come from around lakes Champlain and Memphremagog as well as in Montérégie near the border.[13] It is probable that this rattlesnake once occupied the province,[19] but it is unlikely that it can be confirmed today given that it has been extirpated from several regions in the north of its range.[20][21] 125px
