Researches were conducted to study herpitofauna in Yazyavan district of Fergana region. Research has shown that the reptiles of Uzbekistan have not been studied for a long time, the lack of information about the species composition, the current statistical status of protected species, and the need to study them in detail. As a result of our observational studies, some representatives of the subfamily of snakes (Serpentes) belonging to the Squamata family were recorded in the "Yozyovon Nature Monument". 2 species belonging to the Colubridae family: Dice snake (Natrix tesellata Laurenti, 1768) and Sand racer (Psammophis lineolatum Brandt, 1838) were caught and studied. 2 species belonging to the boidae family: Tatar sand boa (Eryx tataricus Lichtenstein, 1823) and Desert sand boa (Eryx miliaris Pallas, 1773) were recorded , studied and released back into the wild as a protected species. 4 species belonging to the subfamily of lizards (Lacertilia) of the Squamata family were recorded. They are Striped racerunner (Eremias lineolata Nikolskii, 1897), Aralo-Caspian racerunner (Eremias intermedia Strauch, 1876), Rapid racerunner (Eremias velox Pallas, 1771) and Tajik racerunner (Eremias regeli Bedriagai, 1905).
