Reptiles

According to local ecological knowledge, 19 snake species, of which 4 are poisonous, are found here. Snakes are becoming less frequent over the years and we don't know why! There are also several lizards and skinks that are common (we still haven't surveyed lizards yet) and two turtle species in our pond.
