This list of reptile species found exclusively in Jordan is based on the taxonomy used in the EMBL Reptile Database (2005). For further details on possible inaccuracies in the list see Sources & Caveats.

The EMBL Reptile Database CD September 2001 edition. Updated with changes through 2004 making it current to January 2005. http://www.reptile-database.org/db-info/changes2005.html
The current version of this database is the TIGR Reptile Database http://www.reptile-database.org/
