One native, endemic species (Brachylophus bulabula or B. fasciatus) and the introduced invasive cane toad (Bufo marinus) were reported by the inhabitants of nearby Makogai Island to be occasionally present on Makodraga.

A survey by P. Harlow and R. Fisher in February 2010 with good weather established the presence of the Fiji Banded Iguana on Makodraga Island and they estimated a population of 2000 individuals on the island. Skink abundance Ground skinks were common within the forest to the north-west of Makodraga Island and along the slopes from ‗Peak 1‘ to ‗look out point‘. Not many skinks were observed along the south-eastern part of the island (from ‗creek bed‘ to ‗ficus‘. 390
