Nearly a year after the authorities seized about 300 animals from an upstate New York man in what they called the largest seizure of illegal reptiles in state history, officials said they filed numerous charges against him.

A tip led the authorities to the home of the man, William Engelder, in Allegany, N.Y., about 70 miles south of Buffalo and near the Pennsylvania border, in August 2018.

There they found the animals — including three king cobras, multiple types of turtles and several threatened species — the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said in a statement last Wednesday.

The authorities seized 292 animals, including two box and two painted turtles, six snapping turtles, six Gila monsters (a type of lizard), 17 bog turtles, 28 Blanding’s turtles, 53 wood turtles and 184 spotted turtles. Investigators also seized 20 boxes of turtle eggs.
