A survey of the amphibians and reptiles of the The Nature Conservany's Boehler Seeps and Sandhills Preserve (BSSP) was conducted from March -October, 2008. The goal of the project was to provide baseline data, data to assist with designing future survey and monitoring efforts, and recommendations for herpetofaunal conservation. A variety of herpetofaunal survey protocols, including visual encounter surveys, anuran calling surveys, pitfall trapping, turtles trapping, and opportunistic detections, were used. The preserve was divided into three segments for our survey efforts, each stratified by two habitat types (upland forest and bottomland/wetland forest). We spent approximately 400 person-hours conducting surveys. A total of 2,673 individuals representing 41 species were captured or detected. All sampling protocols contributed to the overall species diversity detected. Seven new distribution records for Atoka County were documented, but we failed to detect several species that we expected to encounter. The BSSP provides unique habitat and refugia for a wide array of amphibian and reptile species native to southeastern Oklahoma, however, the area is not without impacts, both anthropogenic and natural, and we provide recommendations for conservation efforts that address some of the primary impacts
