| Reptiles of Younger Lagoon Reserve |
 Western pond turtle |
|
Younger
Lagoon is part of the natural range of many reptiles. Reptiles can survive without living in the water, and docents at Younger Lagoon have reported seeing Garter snakes and Gopher snakes. These animals feed on insects and small rodents throughout the year, under the vegetation and in the grasslands. |

This
species list is derived from student field studies and from
species expected to occur at YLR, according to the Wildlife
Habitats Relationship database of the California
Department of Fish and Game. We have omitted species that, although
they might possibly occur, are unlikely, due to reserve size, isolation
or habitat availability. The list is organized according to taxonomic
classification in the following format:
