This database aims at documenting the most recent distribution, interesting observations in life histories and roadkill records of herps within Hong Kong through contribution by devoted nature-lovers in the region.

The observations added to this database will supplement the Hong Kong Biodiversity Database maintained by the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Hong Kong.

In order to increase the value of your records you are strongly encouraged to provide accurate locality, date and time of your observations as well as specific information and representative photos with size reference of the animals to be reported.

If you prefer not to share the accurate locations of your sightings with other visitor of the database, please select options "private" or "obscured". In this case the real locality of your observation is going to be visible only to yourself and to the curator of the project. Contributors are highly encouraged to set privacy for observations of threatened species (especially turtles in our region).

Whether you are a professional researcher working on scientific or conservation projects, or an amateur herpetologist who would like to explore more about the local herpetofauna, we hope you will find it as an useful source of information to your work. less ↑
