- Diamondback Terrapin Habitat at Herrington Harbour South.
With the combined environmental efforts of slipholders, guests and the grounds and maintenance department, the Terrapins continue to multiply and flourish at Herrington Harbour South.
Diamondback Terrapins are characterized by their diamond shape markings on the top of their shell, webbed feet for swimming and strong claws for climbing. Diamondbacks can only live and reproduce in unpolluted water and they feed mostly snails, clams, crabs and some marsh plants.
