Sažetak

Učka Nature Park in northeastern Istria represents an important habitat for herpetofauna, yet knowledge of certain reptile occurrences within the park has been limited. Field surveys conducted in 2024 and 2025 at selected peripheral sites confirmed, for the first time, the presence of three reptile species previously undocumented in the park: the four-lined snake Elaphe quatuorlineata Lacepède, 1789, European glass lizard Pseudopus apodus (Pallas 1775), and Mediterranean house gecko Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758). These findings expand the known reptile fauna of Učka Nature Park and provide a valuable baseline for future research, monitoring, and conservation efforts.
