More nonindigenous species occur in Florida, USA, than any other region worldwide and may threaten many of Florida's natural resources. The frequency of new reports mandates the need for regular updates. Herein, we use photographic and specimen vouchers in addition to literature records to provide updated information on verified nonindigenous amphibians and reptiles in Florida. Between our most recent summary in 2012 and the end of 2015, 38 additional species are known to have been intercepted (n=2) or introduced (n=36). We also update the invasion stage of seven species previously reported from Florida and report that five additional taxa are now established. In total 191 independent known introductions of 180 herpetofaunal taxa led to the establishment of 63 taxa. This suggests that one in three introduced herpetofaunal species becomes established in Florida. The pet trade represents the most common introduction pathway among these species and a single animal importer in Hollywood, Broward County, is the probable source for introduction of a quarter of all herpetofauna introduced to Florida.

... Florida is the global epicenter for nonnative herpetofaunal (i.e., reptiles and amphibians) introductions due to the intentional and unintentional actions of people (Fujisaki et al. 2015). Although most of these introductions are reptiles, approximately 20 species of nonnative amphibians (frogs, salamanders, caecilians) have been documented in the state (Krysko et al. 2016), with numerous additional species recorded in other US states, especially Hawaii and California (Kraus 2009;Meshaka et al. 2022). Historically, nonnative amphibians arrived in Florida unintentionally, often as stowaways in shipments of cargo. ...
