Some pristine habitat in the region of west Sumatera is less-explored due to low number of herpetologists in the area. However, many species were described as new to science based on morphological or molecular approaches. We conducted preliminary study to uncover the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in mount Sago, Sumatera Barat. In this study, we surveyed the amphibian and reptiles in the dry season. We performed a visual encounter survey along the hiking trails to the mount peak. A group of 3 persons searched systematically in the potential habitat. We stop at two points where these were located close to the stream to focus the searching at the potential habitat. A small collection was made comprised 25 individuals of 7 families and 15 species. At lower altitude (1000 meter above sea level/m.a.s.l), we found Chalcorana calconota, Fejervarya cancrivora, Odorrana hossii, Phrynoidis aspera, Microhyla heymonsi, Polypedates leucomystax, Megophrys nasuta, Limnonectes kuhlii, L. macrodon. At higher altitude (2567) masl), we collected Philautus polymorphus, Leptophryne borbonica, Leptobrachium hasseltii, and the juvenile of Broncochela hayeki. The limited finding to amphibians and reptiles were caused by the time of survey which was conducted in the dry season. Amphibians and reptiles less-active during dry season to prevent the loss of excessive water.
