Amphibian
Amphibians are vertebrate animals that breed in water, but spend much of their lives on land. The more widespread amphibian species (e.g. common frog) are protected against trade and sale.
Reptile
Reptiles are vertebrate animals that possess a scaly skin and reproduce on land. The sand lizard and smooth snake have a very restricted UK distribution and are strictly protected under both UK and European legislation. The more widespread reptile species (e.g. slow-worm) are protected against deliberate killing, injury and sale.
