Reptiles Reptiles, or members of the class Reptilia, are air-breathing, cold-blooded vertebrates that have skin covered in scales as opposed to hair or feathers. They are tetrapods (having or having descended from vertebrates with four limbs) and amniotes, whose embryos are surrounded by an amniotic membrane. Modern reptiles inhabit every continent with the exception of Antarctica, and four living orders are currently recognized: * Crocodilia (crocodiles, gavials, caimans, and alligators): 23 species * Sphenodontia (tuatara from New Zealand): 2 species * Squamata (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenids ("worm-lizards"): approximately 7,900 species * Testudines (turtles, tortoises, and terrapins): approximately 300 species The majority of reptile species are oviparous (egg-laying) although certain species of squamates are capable of giving live birth. This is achieved, either through ovoviviparity (egg retention), or viviparity (offspring born without use of calcified eggs). Many of the viviparous species feed their fetuses through various forms of placenta analogous to those of mammals with some providing initial care for their hatchlings. Extant reptiles range in size from a tiny gecko, Sphaerodactylus ariasae, that grows to only 1.6 cm (0.6 in), to the saltwater crocodile that may reach 5.5 m in length and weigh over 1,000 kg. The science dealing with reptiles is called herpetology. Oklahoma Snakes The most commonly found snakes in Oklahoma, are by no means "all inclusive" ... and some exotic species can be encountered that have escaped captivity. Oklahoma Wildlife Control, LLC will provide solutions for all of your snake problems. Those of special concern are as follows: * Copperhead * Western Cotton Mouth * Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake * Western Pygmy Rattlesnake * Timber Rattlesnake * Western Massasauga Rattlesnake * Eastern Coral Snake |
Copperhead |
Eastern Coral Snake |
For the 'outdoorsy' folk in areas where rattlers are native! Believe it! A good reason to keep you grass cut. This bad boy measured 7 feet, 6 inches! Police Chief Robert Snyder shot him (7-28-09) INSIDE a homeowner's nice yard in Shadow Glen, on the north side of 290 between Austin Texas and Elgin Texas in the little town of Manor. The lady had FOUR kids playing in the yard at the time!!! |

Turtles The Oklahoma Wildlife Control® Limited Liability Company commonly recieves call about turle removals, or what this company can do for turtle problems. We do indeed offer solutions for turtles, and their removal. Some of the common calls we receive, are for the following reasons: |
* Turtles in stocked ponds eating fish. * Turtles in Koi ponds eating fish. * Turtles in fountain ponds, climbing up on fountain heads, and breaking lighting fixtures. * Turtles getting into gardens and eating fruits and vegetables. |
The turtles that we commonly remove, are the "Common Snapping Turtle", "Soft Shell Turtle" and the "Red Ear Sliders" ... all of which cause large and substantial losses to any fishery or fish populations, and are more than capable of breaking underwater lighting fixtures on ponds with fountains in them. If you are having a problem with any reptile species ... whether in Tulsa ot another city, town or county in Oklahoma ... contact us. Thank you. |
Most people have too much money vested into their Koi and Koi ponds like this one shown, to be able to afford to have a turtle, such as this Red Ear Slider, going through the ponds and reducing the populations of Koi. Water turtles also carry with them, the possibility of introducing E. Coli, or other infectuous disease into the waters. |

The Oklahoma Wildlife Control® Limited Liability Company will professionally remove any and all unwanted snakes from your property. Whether they are venomous, non-venomous, poisonous, non-poisonous, exotic species or native species ... they are no problem for us. (Technically, there are no "poisonous" snakes … they are venomous. A poison must be ingested in order for it to have adverse effects on the human body. Where as a venom, has to be injected to show adversity.) We are commonly called upon by businesses, government agencies, townships, property owners and more ... in the Tulsa, Ponca City, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Oologah, Sand Springs, Oklahoma City, Edmond, Coweta, Catoosa, Bartlesville, Checotah, Claremore, Sperry, and surrounding areas. We provide all of our professional wildlife removal and damage repair services to the entire state of Oklahoma. Don't take chances with safety and health in regards to nuisance wildlife ... especially snakes. A single vial of anti-venom can cost $4,000.00. The time it will take to recover from a snake bite can be costly beyond compare, and the extremity which has been bitten will never be the same again, especially if narcosis occurs so badly that surgery is required. More than 75% of the snake bite victims were bitten because they tried to kill a snake, or capture a snake. The Oklahoma Wildlife Control® Limited Liability Company does not kill snakes; we relocate them to our own property. Snakes have usefulness in nature, but not on your property, in your yards, nor in your houses. |
