Abstract
Recent efforts to eradicate the invasive Argentine Giant Tegu (Salvator merianae) has led to the discovery of several county records of this introduced lizard as well as several other potentially invasive amphibian and reptile species in the state of Georgia, USA. New records were determined using a database of county records maintained by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. All specimens and photographic records are stored at the Georgia Southern University – Savannah Science Museum Herpetology Collection (GSU) and were collected under the Georgia scientific collection permit number 1000545737 and IACUC permit number I18020 and I21010. All coordinates are presented in WGS 84. We report 14 new county records consisting of two anurans and 11 squamates in Georgia.
