Abstract

The wide range of habitats in the Bhopal Region of Madhya Pradesh in central India support a rich reptilian fauna. Conducting visual surveys, we recorded 34 species of reptiles (2 species of crocodilians, 3 species of turtles, 13 species of lizards, 16 species of snakes). Observations were made during the monsoon period from mid-June to mid-September in 2014-2015. Herein, we present baseline data regarding the reptilian fauna of the Bhopal Region.
