List of amphibians and reptiles of Barbados

This is a list of amphibians and reptiles found on Barbados, a Caribbean island-nation in the Lesser Antilles. Barbados is largely flat and has been intensively cultivated for over 300 years. This has left little natural vegetation on the island, leaving most species found there restricted to narrow habitats such as wooded gullies.

Amphibians

There are two species of amphibians on Barbados, at least one of which was introduced.

Frogs (Anura)

Reptiles

Including marine turtles and introduced species, there are 18 reptile species reported on Barbados, though two are possibly extinct. The Barbados leaf-toed gecko (Phyllodactylus pulcher) and the Barbados threadsnake (Leptotyphlops carlae) are endemic, as were the probably extinct Barbados racer (Liophis perfuscus) and Barbados skink (Alinea lanceolata). A fifth species, the Barbados anole (Anolis extremus), was endemic to Barbados but has been introduced to other islands.

Turtles (Testudines)

Lizards and snakes (Squamata)
