Present study is based on more than, two expeditions conducted from 1998 to 2000, to carry out ecological studies in the Chagai district, Balochistan, Pakistan. The studies were aimed to make an ecological assessment and document the herpetofauna of the area, for the reasons that the area was subjected to severe drought for the last several years. It was observed that drought very badly affected not only the composition of fauna and flora of the area but also forced the nomads to abandon their desert houses and migrate to the nearby cities and towns. Zoogeographic affinities with particular reference to reptiles have also been discussed.
