Occurrence Notes
Almost certainly introduced due to unsuitable habitat. Koch and Peterson (1995) note several historic but unconfirmed reports. Given their popularity as pets, it is suspected that observations were likely released captive animals.; Data Source: Chuck Peterson, Herpetologist - Idaho State University,Doug Keinath-Lead Zoologist-Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
