The diversity and distribution of snakes in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh states of India is reviewed based on published literature by different researchers. The auxiliary information on snake assortment was gathered by referring monographs and journals. Additionally, a lack of awareness of the ecological role that snakes play and a fear of snake bites contributed to the mortality of snakes in residential areas. It is recommended to raise public awareness about the role that snakes play in the ecological food chain and the sustainable use of natural resources. The data presented here can be used as a baseline for determining the status of snakes in the adjacent India region because there are no previous reports available and only few data is available on snakes. Environmental change and quick natural surroundings corruption have prompted a fast decrease in the number of population of snakes. Subsequently, constant observing of their variety and prosperity is fundamental.

“…Journal of Animal Diversity (2022) | © Lorestan University Press About 157 reptile species, which constitutes almost 30% of total reptile diversity of India, have been recorded from the Western Ghats (UNESCO, 2012). Similarly, recent studies in the central Eastern Ghats documented a total of 105 species which includes 35 lizard species, 42 snake species and 4 chelonian species (Ganesh and Guptha, 2021), whereas, a study in the southern Eastern Ghats (Ganesh and Arumugam, 2016) documented 62 species, which included 32 new findings from hill tops of four hill ranges.…”

A comprehensive record of reptiles found in the Moyar River Valley Landscape (MRVL) is presented in this manuscript. The observations did not adhere to standardized survey methods, and are based on opportunistic encounters during our vegetation survey in different habitats of the MRVL between December 2017 and December 2019. A total of 135 live individuals and 31 road-killed specimens, representing 37 species of reptiles were recorded of which two species are Vulnerable, 13 are Least Concern and 22 species are Not Evaluated in accordance with the criteria of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The recorded species belonged to six families of lizards (Agamidae, Chamaeleonidae, Gekkonidae, Lacertidae, Scincidae, and Varanidae), six families of snakes (Colubridae, Elapidae, Erycidae, Pythonidae, Typhlopidae, and Viperidae), two families of chelonians (Geoemydidae, and Testudinidae), and one family of Crocodylia (Crocodylidae,). The road-killed specimens were recorded between the year 2018 and 2020 and come under Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Though the present work did not follow a specific survey method, the contribution provides baseline information on the reptile diversity of the MRVL and presents interesting findings from the Sathyamangalam and Mudumalai Tiger Reserves in north-western Tamil Nadu.
