California's Reptile and Amphibian Diversity






As of February 2008, at least 240 forms of reptiles and amphibians can be found living in the wild in California, including 172 different species; 65 forms found only in California, and 15 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.
