Name: Sensitive Snake Hibernacula Range

Display Field: Range

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This layer represents the Sensitive Snake Hibernacula Range fill area with an outline and is not visible beyond the scale of 1:27,733,946. Snake hibernacula are protected from disruption or destruction year-round under the Alberta Wildlife Act, therefore surveys for hibernacula must be conducted prior to landuse activities to prevent contravention of the Act. The Sensitive Snake Hibernacula Range provides land users/disposition holders and government departments with information regarding the habitat where snake hibernacula are expected to occur in southern Alberta for the purpose of pre-development wildlife surveys. Specific operating conditions apply based on the results of the survey. This dataset (formerly known as the Sensitive Snake Species Range) is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. The Sensitive Snake Hibernacula Range was delineated for prairie rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis), bullsnake (Pituophis catenifer), western hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus) and eastern yellow-bellied racer (Coluber constrictor). A minimum convex polygon (MCP) was used to delineate a range based on observation records from Alberta's Fish and Wildlife Information Management System (FWMIS) and known snake hibernacula within Alberta. Additional considerations were used to further filter range boundaries after observation data were plotted. Habitat Suitability Indices of prairie rattlesnake was combined to identify suitable hibernacula sites with the species ranges. Bio- and geophysical restrictions to species patterns (e.g., rivers, elevation, ecoregions) were used to refine ranges as appropriate. Once an MCP was adequately modified, its border was smoothed. In 2020, the Sensitive Snake Species Range layer name was changed to the Sensitive Snake Hibernaculum Range and included new information and areas.
