Amphibians

There are two species of amphibians on Barbados, at least one of which was introduced.

Frogs (''Anura'')

Reptiles

Including marine turtles and introduced species, there are 15 reptile species reported on Barbados, though two are possibly extinct. The Barbados leaf-toed gecko ('' Phyllodactylus pulcher'') and the Barbados threadsnake ('' Leptotyphlops carlae'') are endemic, as was the probably extinct Barbados racer ('' Liophis perfuscus''). A fourth species, the Barbados anole ('' Anolis extremus''), was endemic to Barbados but has been introduced to other islands.

Turtles (''Testudines'')
