A total of 167 individuals from 17 species, 10 families have been recorded, 1 of which is in Near Threatened (NT) and Vulnerable (VU) status on the IUCN Redlist namely Ptyas korros and Huia masonii respectively, which H.masonii also endemic to Java Island. The diversity index (H’) shows a moderate value (2.099), while the dominance value (0,211) was lower than the evenness index (0.479).
