Abstract

The article describes the results of studying the herpetofauna of the Togliatti forestry season for three fi eld years, from 2020 to 2022. Five species of reptiles were found: Anguis colchica (Nordmann, 1840) (n=5); Eremias arguta (Pallas, 1773) (n=1); Lacerta agilis Linneus, 1758 (n=32); Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758) (n=4); Coronella austriaca Laurenti, 1768 (n=9). The disappearance of the A. colchica was noted in the forest areas opened by fi res in 2010. The habitat of the E. arguta disease was confi rmed on the sandy slopes adjacent to the 47th forest quarter. The data obtained indicate changes in the abundance of species in the export areas: the number of encounters with A. colchica and E. arguta disease has decreased, and the number of sightings of L. agilis and C. austriaca has increased.
