Types of Reptiles

Shelter

"Hibernacula are underground chambers that amphibians and reptiles use throughout the winter to protect themselves from the cold.

Amphibians and reptiles like frogs, toads, newts, lizards and snakes are regular visitors to gardens, especially those with log piles, sunny spots, ponds, bogs and compost heaps. Creating a hibernaculum in your own garden will provide a safe space for amphibians and reptiles to hibernate over winter, as well as a spot for solitary bees to soak up the sun and for birds to relax." -  How to Build Hibernaculum for Amphibians and Reptiles
