Reptiles
Reptiles are a diverse, hugely successful and fascinating group that on Borneo range from the largest living reptile, the Estuarine Crocodile, and the world's longest snake, the Reticulated Python, to tiny geckos, skinks and blind snakes. And further, discoveries are still being made. The island also has its fair share of venomous snakes, although these are infrequently seen and only a handful of species are potentially life-threatening.
