Abstract
Based on the novel data collected during the field surveys in 2019, we here in provided a checklist of eight species of amphibians belonging to seven genera (five families, one order) and nine species of reptiles belonging to eight genera (seven families, two orders) from Tien Hai Wetland Nature Reserve in Thai Binh Province. The species Hemidactylus stejnegeri is reported for the first time from Thai Binh Province. In terms of distribution pattern most of recorded species were found in the canal and aquaculture pond habitat (nine species of amphibians and reptiles, 52.94% of the total number of species). The diversity of amphibian and reptile species recorded from Tien Hai Wetland Nature Reserve is lower than the other wetland areas in North Vietnam. In this nature reserve, the number of species change according to salinity of amphibians is higher than of reptiles.
