Reptiles in Daintree
The largest ones are the deadly Australian saltwater crocodiles. Even if you don't see them on one quick trip, they see you from the river water, so don't go too close. Other reptiles include freshwater tortoises, lizards such as Boyd's Forest Dragon, geckos such as Northern Leaf-tailed Gecko, and many species of snakes, mostly non-venomous, such as Amethystine Python.
