Checklist of Reptiles of Hastings  (1937-2013)

author(s):	Hastings Natural History Reserve
description:	Hastings is home to 19 species of Reptiles. Hastings has had over 500 people working over the last 60 years outdoors all day and no one has been bitten by rattlesnakes. Burrow systems of the California ground squirrel are important habitat for many reptiles (and amphibians). As our native ants are displaced by the exotic, non-native Argentine Ant, our coast horned lizards are becoming rarer.(For Information on each species, copy the scientific name into the NatureServe search page) Some other links are provided below.
