Saint Giles Island is the largest in a group of small islands off the northeast tip of Tobago. It is very steep sided and hosts tropical dry forest and wind-swept littoral scrub.
At least five species of reptiles have been recorded for the island. One is a snake - Boddaert's tropical racer ( Mastigodryas boddaerti), and four are lizards - Green iguanas, Turnip-tailed geckos, Ocellated geckos ( Gonatodes ocellatus), and an unidentified species of skink in the sub-family Mabuyinae.
