Kota Yogyakarta dalam dunia perdagangan satwa merupakan daerah yang terdapat perdagangan ilegal. Perdagangan satwa di Kota Yogyakarta tidak hanya pada jenis ikan hias, mamal dan burung tetapi juga reptil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan lokasi pemasaran, mengidentifikasi jenis, dan status perlindungan reptil yang diperdagangkan di Kota Yogyakarta. Penelitian dilakukan di Pasar Satwa dan Tanaman Hias Yogyakarta dan 9 toko hewan di Kota Yogyakarta. Metode pengambilan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan investigasi dengan menjadi calon pembeli. Penelitian berlangsung dari 10 Oktober 2019 � 11 Maret 2020. Sebanyak 34 jenis reptil yang terdiri dari 16 jenis ular, 11 jenis kura-kura dan 7 jenis kadal terdapat di pasar tradisional (PASTY), sedangkan pada toko hewan peliharaan dijumpai 23 jenis reptil yang terdiri dari 8 jenis ular, 7 jenis kura-kura, dan 8 jenis kadal. Pada pasar tradisional (PASTY) dijumpai jenis reptil lokal yang lebih banyak daripada jenis asing, namun pada toko hewan lebih banyak dijumpai jenis reptil asing dibanding jenis reptil lokal. Secara keseluruhan terdapat lima jenis reptil yang dilindungi menurut Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan Indonesia No. p.106/menlhk/setjen/kum.1/12/2018, dua jenis reptil yang dikategorikan Apendiks 1 CITES, satu jenis reptil masuk dalam kategori Critically Endangered dan lima jenis masuk dalam kategori Endangered IUCN. Masih adanya jenis-jenis yang dilindungi menunjukkan monitoring perdagangan satwa khususnya reptil harus diperketat oleh pihak berwenang.
