Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island has only 3 species of
reptiles, representing only one family. Only Newfoundland and the
three territories have fewer species. PEI's 3 snakes are also
found in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It is interesting that
snakes have been able to colonize the island but turtles have not
been able to.
