Reptiles

There are only 6 species of reptile natively found in Britain, and most prefer hot dry habitats such as heath or moorland. Nonetheless, Ely Wildspace is home to two species, as below.

If you would like to see what either species looks like, go to the website of the National Biodiversity Network and type the Binomial name of the species into the 'Search for Taxa' box. Or simply use Google search.
