These translocations have been attempted with massasaugas, however, the lack of successful techniques and high overwinter mortality has limited our progress. <span>To increase success, we are using the data obtained from our hibernation habitat study begun in 2015 to identify release sites that include suitable overwintering habitat, essentially flood-free areas with animal <\/span>burrows that allow snakes to descend deep enough under ground to avoid freezing and stay moist.\u00a0 <span>We are now well into the second phase of the project where we are evaluating those release sites with live snakes, following an approach approved by a university animal care committee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We were pleased with the results of year one of the release site evaluation when an overwhelming 95% (20\/21) of our snakes survived!\u00a0 In the fall of 2019 we installed ten artificial hibernacula, similar to crayfish burrows where snakes naturally like to hibernate, at three proposed release sites, and placed 21 wild gartersnakes (<em>Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis<\/em>) inside for the winter. We chose gartersnakes as a surrogate species for massasaugas because they hibernate in the same features and are not a species at risk. The survival of these \u201cinspector\u201d snakes confirmed that our habitat study had identified areas with suitable overwintering conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-la2z9z97-817bb4aa4532f57b9994704a4d9894de\">\n.avia-image-container.av-la2z9z97-817bb4aa4532f57b9994704a4d9894de img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-la2z9z97-817bb4aa4532f57b9994704a4d9894de .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-la2z9z97-817bb4aa4532f57b9994704a4d9894de av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-33124 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-33124 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-1-225x300.png' alt='' title='image-1'  height=\"300\" width=\"225\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><section  class='av_textblock_section av-la2zajwc-ee03232185bfde5f783df419b9aded77 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Adult female eastern gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis) immediately after being removed from an artificial hibernaculum at Ojibway Prairie Provincial Park, in spring 2020, held by a WPC volunteer.<br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span>Due to the very successful first year, we expanded the study. We built and installed an additional eight artificial hibernacula, and hibernated over twice as many snakes across six distinct release sites. We placed 54 eastern gartersnakes, both captive-reared and wild, in hibernation in November 2020 and have been monitoring the snakes with a borescope camera every two weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I am elated to announce that on our last check we confirmed 51 snakes remain alive in the artificial hibernacula \u2013 a 91% survival rate so far!
