Reptiles
The reptile section of the Saint Martin Wildlife Guide is nearing completion. At the moment it is missing only a handful of species, some of which may no longer be present on the island. The turnip-tailed gecko (Thecadactylus rapicauda) is a large gecko that I have not encountered as yet. Also missing is the skink Mabuya bistriata. The lesser antillean iguana (Iguana delicatissima) may be present, but as yet all iguanas I have seen on St. Martin and Ilet Pinel have been the green/common iguana. The single known species of snake, the leeward islands racer (Alsophis rijersmai) I have also not seen. Two species of sea turtle which live primarily in open water, the loggerhead and leatherback, round out the list of reptiles yet to be documented.
- Anole (Anolis gingivinus)
- Anole (Anolis pogus)
- Dwarf Gecko (Sphaerodactylus macrolepis)
- Dwarf Gecko (Sphaerodactylus sputator)
- Green Iguana (Iguana iguana)
- Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas)
- Ground Lizard (Ameiva plei)
- Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata)
- House Gecko (Hemidactylus mabouia)
- Red-footed Tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria)
