The United States is home to a wide variety of reptiles, including many species that are found nowhere else in the world. In recognition of the important role that reptiles play in our ecosystems and culture, many states have designated official State Reptiles to represent their unique local wildlife. From the iconic American Alligator to the diminutive Bog Turtle, each State Reptile has its own story to tell about the natural heritage of its state.
