Rudbar County is one of the 17 counties in Gilan Province and is considered the largest county in this province in terms of area. The climate of this county is influenced by the dry and semi-arid conditions of the central region. Given the high richness of the fauna and flora in this area and the lack of precise information regarding its reptiles, this study was conducted during the spring and summer of 1403 (2024) to identify the reptiles of Rudbar County.Through the conducted surveys, a total of 17 species of reptiles were identified, including eight species of snakes from the families Colubridae and Viperidae, seven species of lizards from the families Agamidae, Lacertidae, Scincidae, and Gekkonidae, and two species of turtles from the families Emydidae and Testudinidae. However, considering the significant expanse of the area, there is also a possibility of unidentified species being present. Thus, future research can contribute to the identification and protection of these species and play an important role in raising public awareness. Among the factors threatening reptiles in this region are consecutive droughts, the expansion of orchards, overgrazing by livestock, mining activities, road kills, and misconceptions about reptiles
