The herpetofauna of Saint Honorat island is relatively poor and consists of common species. The Leaf-toed gecko, Euleptes europaea, is still missing yet. However, the island remains original from herpetological terms, as it represents the only population of French Mediterranean coast of western green lizard, Lacerta b. bilineata. Only two stations of the species have been observed on the island during surveys. We suspect a negative interaction with the Common Pheasant, Phasianus colchidus, occurring here in high abundance.
