Reptiles of Pakistan


Over 195 species of reptiles are known in Pakistan. Of these, 13 species are believed to be endemic. As with other groups, these are a blend of Palaearctic, Indo-Malayan and Ethiopian forms.

The mugger (marsh crocodile) is in danger partially due to over hunting. The species is now nearly extinct and only occur in small numbers in Sindh and a few areas in Balochistan (Groombridge, 1988). The gharial is in a precarious situation, or maybe already extinct and has only been seen in small numbers between the Sukkur and Guddu barrages. In addition monitor species are heavily hunted for their skins.

Of the 72 snake species found in Pakistan, only 14 marine and 12 terrestrial snake species are poisonous; most well known are the Indian cobra, common krait, saw-scaled viper and Russel's viper.

On genus, the monospecific Teratolepsis, is endemic, while another, Eristicophis, is near endemic.The Chagai Desert is of particular interest for reptiles, with six species ( including five lizards and onesnake ) are endemic to Pakistan and a further six species found only here and in bordering parts of Iran. Important populations of marine turtles nest on Pakistan's southern beaches. Green and olive turtle, mugger, gharial, central Asian monitor, Indian python, central Asian cobra are among the internationally threatened species of reptiles in Pakistan (IUCN 1990).

Family: ELAPIDAE (Kraits & Cobras)



Family of deadliest venomous snakes containing cobras, kraits, mambas and coral. They are morphologically colubrids, except that they possess a pair of short immovable, hollow fangs, longer than rest of the teeth, connected with poison through a duct opening at the tip of the fang. Moreover, characteristically, the loreal scale is absent from head scales. Elapids are represented in Pakistan by two genera of 4-5 species.

Genus Bangarus

Bungarine snakes, the "kraits", are medium-sized, thin snakes, with small dark eyes which are hardly visible in life. Smooth scales, black to dark brown dorsum with a steelish luster, paired narrow white bands extend across dorsum at regular intervals.

Kraits are shy, in danger prefer to lie low, when provoked body rolls into a ball, and hisses. The head is kept under coils, while the tail is kept high and is waved to and fro, to distract attention of enemy. The "balling" snake suddenly strikes when molested (khan and tasnim, 1986b).

Genus Bungarus is represented in Pakistan by three species:

Common Krait (Bungarus caeruleus)
Sindhi Krait (Bungarus sindanus)
Northern Punjab Krait (Bangarus sindanus razai)
Genus Naja

Snakes of this genus can expand ribs of anterior half of their body so to stretch the skin of this region into a "hood", and are capable of raising it vertically up above These snakes are usually known as "nags", are long, thick, heavy bodied, often exceeding 1500 mm in total length. They are deadly poisonous and most-feared of the subcontinent.

Genus Naja is represented in Pakistan by two species:

Spectacled or Indian Cobra (Naja Naja)
Oxus or Brown Cobra (Naja Oxiana)
Family: VIPERIDAE (Pitless vipers)

This family is represented in Pakistan by five genera and seven species and subspecies.

Russell's or Chain Viper (Daboia russelii)
Saw-scaled Viper (Echis carinatus) (New)
Sochurek's or Eastern Saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus sochureki) (New)
Multiscale or Transcaspian Saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus multisquamatus) (New)
Astola Saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus astolae) (New)
Macmahon's or Leaf Nosed Viper (Eristicophis macmahonii)
Persian Horned Viper (Pseudocerastes persicus)
Levantine Viper or Mountain Adder (Macrovipera lebetina)
Family: CROTALIDAE (Pit vipers)

Snout pointed, a deep loreal pit between eye and nostril; head-top relatively flat with large shields, usually small azygos scales split off from the main head scales; nostril centered between two nasal scales; postocular and subocular are fused to form a large scale; which does not line the mouth.

Pit vipers are represented by a single species in Pakistan, belonging to the genus Gloydius:

Himalayan Pit Viper (Gloydius himlayanus)

Well your knowledge of snakes seems flaky. No viper ever comes close to the Black Snake, Tiger and the Taipan and they all live happily in Australia.
