California's Reptile and Amphibian Diversity






As of February 2008, at least 235 forms of reptiles and amphibians can be found living in the wild in California, including 167 different species; 63 forms found only in California, and 13 introduced non-natives. (Go here to see a list of currently undescribed herps and some that could occur in California.)

These totals will continually change with the discovery of new species and subspecies, or with the re-classification of species and subspecies.
