===Reptiles and amphibians=== There are three species of amphibians: [[Bufo viridis|green toad]] (''Bufo viridis''), [[marsh frog]] and [[stripeless tree frog]] (''Hyla meridionalis''). The common lizard seen all over the island is the [[Italian wall lizard]] (''Podarcis siculus'') although the [[Moroccan rock lizard]] (''Scelaris perspicillata'') also occurs. The Balearic endemic [[Lilford's wall lizard]] (''Podarcis lilfordi'') can be found on many of the offshore islands. Two species of [[gecko]] can be found on Menorca, the [[Moorish gecko|Moorish]] (''Tarentola mauritanica'') and the [[Mediterranean house gecko|Turkish]] (''Hemidactylus turcicus'') also called the Mediterranean house gecko. Four species of snake occur: the [[viperine snake]] (''Natrix maura''), [[grass snake]], [[false smooth snake]] (''Macroprotodon cucullatus'') and the [[ladder snake]] (''Rhinechis scalaris''). [[Hermann's tortoise]] (''Testudo hermanni'') is quite common and can be found all over the island. Two terrapin species are also found, the native [[European pond terrapin]] (''Emys orbicularis'') and the introduced American [[red-eared slider]]'' (Trachemys scripta'').
