A tentative herp count from my four months in Costa Rica: 62 species.  It may increase (or decrease) slightly as I add and update photographs with uncertain identification and scientific names from Savage and Bolanos (Zootaxa 2009).  The majority of the herps discovered were reptiles, which makes sense, given my extended stay in the dry forest.  I missed out on much of the phenomenal diversity of anurans and didn’t see a single salamander because they tend to be more diverse in wetter parts of the country.  When I was in those areas (i.e., the Osa Penninsula), it was the dry season, so many of the herps were hiding out.
