![]() Questionnaire responses and supplementary observation records were used to support some of the conclusions presented in this report. Completed questionnaires and/or species observations were received from 57 respondents (31% response rate), who collectively contributed almost 250 observation records. The questionnaire was sent by email in 2012 and five to six weeks were given to respond. To date (January 2014), neither a provincial nor a federal management plan for the species has been prepared.Īs part of this status report update, a questionnaire was sent to 184 naturalists, herpetologists, resource managers, consultants and others in Ontario and Quebec who were presumed to have experience with, or possess knowledge of, Eastern Milksnakes in Canada (see Appendix 1). The Eastern Milksnake is currently listed under both Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act and Schedule 5 of the Ontario Endangered Species Act as a species of 'special concern'.
