No single “complete list” meets the criteria for Reptiles of Taiwan
Understand that a fully verified, all‑fields “complete list” of Reptiles of Taiwan does not exist in a single source. The request asks for every species with common and scientific names, family, endemic/introduced status, range, IUCN status, and photos in a tidy, taxon‑grouped, sortable table. No single public dataset or publication currently delivers all of that for every reptile record in Taiwan.
Accept that this gap exists for clear reasons. Taxonomy changes often. New species are described and names are revised. Some island populations are under study and are not yet confirmed as distinct species. Records from small offshore islands, historical museum specimens, and recent introductions create ambiguity about what to include. Different authorities (local checklists, national databases, and IUCN) use different rules. That makes one clean, final list impossible right now.
Check these close alternatives instead. The Taiwan Biodiversity Information Facility (TaiBIF) and local herpetological society checklists cover many species and specimen records. The IUCN Red List gives global threat status for many Taiwanese reptiles. Citizen science platforms (for example, iNaturalist) and museum collections supply photos and occurrence data. Near matches you can explore include group lists (snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodilians/sea turtles), accounts of common sea turtles around Taiwan, and island‑endemic reptile checklists.
Explore species lists by taxon, regional field guides, conservation hotspots (Kenting, Green Island, Orchid Island), and databases like TaiBIF and IUCN for the most complete, up‑to‑date information available.
