The island of Cebu in the Philippines is home to various species of reptiles and amphibians. Supsup, et al. (2016) recorded a total of 13 amphibian species and 63 reptile species.
Brachymeles cebuensis is a rare skink endemic to Cebu. Secretive blind snakes such as Malayotyphlops hypogius and Ramphotyhlops cumingii are found on the island as well. Other endemic species in Cebu include the Cebu Flowerpecker (Diceaum quadricolor), Cebu Slender Skink (Brachymeles cebuensis), Cebu Cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum cebuense), and Black Shama (Copsychus cebuensis).
