Gavin Hanke, curator of vertebrate zoology at the Royal BC Museum, detailsthe recent history of three exotic reptiles in BC. The Common wall lizard is the most successfully established exotic reptile in BC. The Italian Wall Lizard, known to be established on Orcas Island in Washington, made its first appearance in Canada in Vancouver in 2019. The Western Fence Lizard was already introduced to many locations in Puget Sound when it first appeared in BC (and Canada) in 2020. Several temperate species in the pet trade threaten our environment when they are let loose or escape. Climate change will only make our region more inviting to such species. Gavin highlights characteristics of high risk reptilian invaders.
