From everything I just looked up, it's native to the Philippines. It wasn't native all the way up to Luzon from what I picked up, a long with a few islands. They have been in the Philippines since the 1800's from what I have read.
Not a Caiman. While I like my crocodilians, i'm not fully sure which one this is. Maybe the Philippine Crocodile.
Next time pull that beautiful snake out and get photos. The Costa Rican Boa, is very beautiful in my opinion of you found a good one. I use to have one as a pet in the USA, and he was outstanding in color with a nice blue gray color to him.
Even though Laguna Bay is extremely polluted, they are still surviving in it. From what I hear is that they are pest in their talapia pens.
I wouldn't technically call it the Australian Saltwater Crocodile, since they do have a larger range than Australia.
Hawksbill, over hunted for the shell, and also used the scutes on the shell for jewelry.
Those are native to Wilmington, North Carolina.
It's a Luzon Banded Coral snake, very venomous. I'm Jealous because I want to take my own pictures of that snake. If you have Facebook look up Philippine Herpetology. I'm putting together a FB Database of endemic herps of the Philippines since it's hard to research it. Also I started a Philippine Snakes Mission you can use to put reptiles in. Nice shot by the way.
