In addition to these, we have identified Pelophylax kl. esculentus and hybrids between Bombina bombina and Bombina variegata. The herpetofauna of the area contains elements more commonly associated with a colder and moister climate. Species such as Rana arvalis and Zootoca vivipara were present at low altitudes (200 m). Mesotriton alpestris and Lissotriton montandoni were present in the area at altitudes of 450 m. Lissotriton vulgaris and Lissotriton montandoni were often present in the same habitats. However, no intermediary specimens were identified. The three forms of the ”Pelophylax esculentus complex”, including Pelophylax lessonae, are wide spread in northern Moldavia, being represented by large populations.

The data collected during our preliminary investigations indicate the presence of 7 amphibian species (Lissotriton vulgaris, Triturus dobrogicus, Bufo viridis, Bombina bombina, Pelobates fuscus, Hyla arborea, Pelophylax ridibundus) and 7 reptile species (Emys orbicularis, Lacerta agilis, Lacerta viridis, Natrix natrix, Natrix tessellata, Zamenis longissimus and Dolichophis caspius) in the research area. The hybrid Pelophlylax kl. esculentus was also identified in the lower Prut river basin. Most of the identified species (Lissotriton vulgaris, Triturus dobrogicus, Hyla arborea, Pelobates fuscus, Emys orbicularis, Natrix tessellata and Zamenis longissimus) are now mentioned for the first time in the area. Pelophylax ridibundus, Bufo viridis, Lacerta agilis and Natrix natrix are the most widespread species in the area while Triturus dobrogicus, Natrix tessellata, Dolichophis caspius and Zamenis longissimus are the rarest species, from a distributional point of view. The most important herpetofaunal areas seem to be the forested sectors and swamps from the center of the region as well as the larger ponds, swamps and artificial canals from the Prut river meadow.

Prior to this study it had not been recorded for almost 40 years and had been reported as extinct in this region by the Romanian Red Data Book of Vertebrates. However, the majority of its natural habitat has been destroyed by the Robinia pseudoacacia plantations from the reserve. In order to ensure the survival of Eremias arguta deserti in the reserve, and in Romanian Moldavia, urgent measures have to be taken to reconstruct its natural habitat through the development of a management plan under the supervision and guidance of experts. At present, the steppe runner population from Hanu Conachi is extremely threatened.

Salamandra salamandra is recorded for the first time in the area, east of the Siret river, being situated at its eastern distribution limit for Europe. Among the most important results of our study is the identification of a new locality for one of the rarest European reptiles, Vipera ursinii. One amphibian (Lissotriton montandoni) and one reptile (Elaphe sauromates) have previously been recorded in our study area but we were unable to reconfirm their presence.
