Abstract

A survey of herpetofauna was conducted in Sungai Rawog Valley Conservation Area Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve on 13-18 August 2018. The survey resulted in 30 species of herpetofauna being encountered consisting of 22 anuran species and eight reptile species. Rhacophoridae contributed the highest species richness having nine species. Two forest trails and the camp area are potential herpetofauna hotspot for the area. Many amphibian species were encountered in these sites due to the existence of water bodies that act as habitats for amphibian reproduction. The majority of the herpetofauna species are those associated with disturbed forest environments.
