Guyana is home to a varied reptile fauna, some of which are noted for their beauty, rarity or ecological importance. Among the most notable reptiles is the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus), a giant snake that can exceed 6 meters in length and is one of the largest in the world. Although difficult to spot due to its elusive nature, it is an important predator in aquatic ecosystems.

Another notable reptile is the hognose turtle (Carettochelys insculpta), a species of freshwater turtle with a distinctive leaf-shaped shell. This turtle is endemic to the region and is considered an endangered species.

Additionally, Guyana is known for its diversity of lizards, including species such as the water lizard (Hydrosaurus pustulatus), which inhabits the region's rivers and streams, and the spiny lizard (Sceloporus magister), which is found in rocky areas and dry.

These are just a few examples of the most prominent reptiles in the fauna of Guyana, which contribute to the rich biodiversity of the region.
