Why is the garter snake endangered?

Answer 1

It is considered a nuisance. It also has no natural habitats other than near peoples homes where dogs, bird, cats, and other predators are found.

There are millions of them and they are certainly not endangered. There are certain sub species that are endangered because people have collected them as pets for years, but the garter snake as a whole is quite abundant.

Answer 2

There is only one rattlesnake currently considered endangered and that is the ridge nose rattlesnake (Willard's rattlesnake) of southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. Some other species are endangered on a local basis but not throughout their entire range. This is due to human encroachment on the rattlesnake habitat and man's nasty practice of wanting to kill all snakes.

Answer 3

Pythons are for the most part, not endangered. The Burmese python is threatened, however.

Answer 4

Most are not, but the eastern diamondback is in some areas of it's range, as is the timber rattler. Loss of habitat and killing by humans are the major factors in their decline.

Answer 5

The giant garter snake has been listed as threatened, not endangered, with the state of California since 1971 and with the federal government since 1993.

Answer 6

Because, as usual - the human race is wiping out the snakes natural habitat in its unstoppable march across this planet !
