<strong>The</strong> following species accounts provide a brief indication <strong>of</strong> the source <strong>of</strong> information for the<br />
occurrence <strong>of</strong> threatened reptiles and amphibians in BHH NR and details <strong>of</strong> their status where<br />
possible.<br />
Annam Spadefoot Toad Brachytarsophrys intermedia<br />
Listed for BHH NR by Cao Tien Trung (in prep.). Known only from a small area <strong>of</strong> central<br />
Vietnam where it inhabits forest close to streams (van Dijk 2004).<br />
Wallace's Flying Frog Rhacophorus nigropalmatus<br />
Listed for BHH NR by Cao Tien Trung (in prep).<br />
Tokay Gecko Gecko gecko<br />
In <strong>Bac</strong> <strong>Huong</strong> <strong>Hoa</strong> NR, found primarily in primary and secondary lowland and mid-montane<br />
evergreen forest (Cao Tien Trung in prep.). Although elsewhere it is <strong>of</strong>ten found in human<br />
habitation, collection for trade is likely to have eliminated it from this habitat in BHH NR (Cox et<br />
al. 2006).<br />
Indochinese Water Dragon Physignathus cocincinus<br />
In BHH NR, usually found perched on overhanging branches along streams. A density <strong>of</strong> 2.8<br />
individuals per kilometre <strong>of</strong> stream has been recorded (Cao Tien Trung in prep.).<br />
Water Monitor Varanus salvator<br />
Provisionally listed for BHH NR on the basis <strong>of</strong> individuals found in trade near the nature reserve<br />
(Dang Ngoc Can et al. 2006). Found in forested areas up to 1,300 m, where it forages close to<br />
water (Cox et al. 2006).<br />
