The 16 species of reptiles recorded in Kensington Bushland in Jirdarup are listed below.
Please be careful that you and your dogs do not disturb reptiles on the paths. For newcomers to Australia, don’t be frightened. If you are lucky, you will see a dugite snake but it will be trying to get away from you.
In the table below, those marked in bold have been sighted since 2017 in surveys reported by Robert Audcent, former members of Friends of Jirdarup Bushland.
