Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Copyedit : Green sea turtle!
Expand : Emydidae, Tortoise, Spotted turtle, Glyptemys
Photo : Find a photo of turtle articles needing a photo
Stubs : Expand a stub article.
Update : Emydidae, Tortoise
Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles. Taxonomy information is available in WikiProject Turtles resources.
- {{Extinct turtles}} and fossil forms of both living and extinct turtles requires attention:many extinct articles require either expansion or creation and sources seems hard to come by. A list of fossil forms is being compiled so progress can be charted.
- Patrol: recent changes to turtle articles and check for improvements or errors.

Example[edit]

There are several examples of how to do one of these lists such as List of reptiles of Minnesota or List of reptiles of Iowa --Chuunen Baka (talk • contribs) 10:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~"Northern painted turtle?"--There are four subgenera of the painted turtle, none of them called northern.~~--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 17:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

turtles of Kansas?[edit]

What if we just made this turtles of Kansas? No one has cared enough to have a reptiles of Kansas article to fill in the snakes and lizards. And nothing prevents them from doing it in the future, if they rouse themselves then? TCO (talk) 07:28, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Naming convention[edit]

After arriving here from the cottonmouth disambiguation page, I noticed that all of the names in this list are common names. This is not very accurate, since many of those names will link to disambiguation pages and some snakes even share the same common names. It's therefore better to always link to the scientific names, even if they are only redirects. Example: list of viperine species and subspecies. --Jwinius 12:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Venomous?[edit]

I moved the two hognosed snakes, Heterodon nasicus and H. platirhinos to the non-venomous section. These snakes may have enlarged maxillary teeth, but their saliva is really no more toxic than human saliva (see Are Hognosed Snakes venomous?). Members of the genus Hypsiglena (night snakes), however, do have venom glands, so you could argue that they are venomous, but they are not considered dangerous to humans (see Hypsiglena torquata). Therefore, whether or not you want to include them in this article's Venomous section depends on your point of view. --Jwinius 12:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't even call Heterodon mildly venomous, since the same can be said for so many other colubrids. For example, I'm pretty sure Thamnophis have more toxic saliva than Heterodon. --Jwinius 10:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
