List of reptiles of Florida

Introduced species are put on this list only if they have an established population (large breeding population, numerous specimens caught, invasive, etc.).

[1] This order includes all the freshwater and sea turtles, as well as the land tortoises.

Lizards may be the most numerous reptiles in the state, though many species were introduced.

There are many snakes in Florida, some venomous and others non-venomous, and unlike lizards, nearly all are native.

Two species are introduced, including the Burmese python, which was introduced when Hurricane Andrew destroyed a holding facility full of imported snakes, and which created a huge media storm and fears it would become widely invasive, but this species has proven unable to withstand colder weather outside of extreme South Florida.
