Potential Invasion Risk of Pet Traded Lizards, Snakes, Crocodiles, and Tuatara in the EU on the Basis of a Risk Assessment Model (RAM) and Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit (AS-ISK)

Original language description

Because biological invasions can cause many negative impacts, accurate predictions arenecessary for implementing effective restrictions aimed at specific high-risk taxa. The pet trade inrecent years became the most important pathway for the introduction of non-indigenous species ofreptiles worldwide. Therefore, we decided to determine the most common species of lizards, snakes,and crocodiles traded as pets on the basis of market surveys in the Czech Republic, which is anexport hub for ornamental animals in the European Union (EU). Subsequently, the establishment andinvasion potential for the entire EU was determined for 308 species using proven risk assessmentmodels (RAM, AS-ISK). Species with high establishment potential (determined by RAM) and atthe same time with high potential to significantly harm native ecosystems (determined by AS-ISK)included the snakesThamnophis sirtalis(Colubridae),Morelia spilota(Pythonidae) and also the lizardsTiliqua scincoides(Scincidae) andIntellagama lesueurii(Agamida
