Reptiles and amphibians

All Britain’s native reptiles are present in the New Forest, encouraged by the relatively mild climate – that’s adders, grass snakes, smooth snakes, slow worms, common lizards and incredibly scarce sand lizards.

A range of amphibians also breed in permanent or temporary pools, including, of course, common frogs and toads, but also smooth, palmate and great crested newts.

Please be patient, though, as these pages will be loaded soon.
