Tento článek přináší pohled na diverzitu herpetofauny na ostrově Borneo. Autor pobýval tři týdny na výzkumné stanici Brunejské univerzity a během denních a nočních odchytů zaznamenával obojživelníky a plazy v nížinném smíšeném dvojkřídláčovém pralese. Článek se zaměřuje na zajímavé a významné druhy herpetofauny, a tak není jen výčtem druhů tropického lesa.
