Recording Herpetofauna

KRAG endeavours to build up long-term herpetofauna (reptile and amphibian) records so that we can better understand the distribution of these threatened animals across the county. KRAG also compiles data for Key Sites in an attempt to safeguard them from development or mismanagement.

Send KRAG your records!

A record is a description of WHAT was seen, WHEN it was seen and WHERE. It is also useful to know WHO saw the animal so that we can follow up reports of endangered species and verify records.

We have provided an online submission form opposite to make the process of telling us about what you have seen as straightforward as possible.

Don’t worry if you can’t fill in all of the form, but the more information you can give us the more valuable the record. If you would like a species identified please attach a picture using the browse buttons at the bottom of the page.

If you have multiple records and would like to submit them using a spreadsheet (it is quicker than submitting multiple records using the online form believe us!) then please click the link below and send it to recorder@kentarg.org
