Over 25% of the species records for Phetchaburi
Province are based on the observation of
a single specimen. Most search efforts were
concentrated in Ban Lat D. and Kaeng Krachan
D., which are the only districts which benefitted
from dedicated herpetological surveys, and
where the higher species numbers were found
(45 and 75, respectively, see Table 1). Records
from other districts were made opportunistically,
except for a short survey by TC in Cha-am
D.; a single record is still available from Khao
Yoi D. and none at all for Nong Ya Plong D.
These facts clearly indicate that the herpetological
exploration of Phetchaburi Province is still
largely incomplete, and that its reptile fauna is
probably much richer than demonstrated.
