At a landscape level

Hedgerows provide valuable corridors for helping movement of reptiles.  Broad uncultivated margins, or areas along the hedges that are protected from grazing, preferably on the sunny side of the hedge are useful.

Reptiles don't need to be tidy!

If possible avoid the temptation to over tidy a site.  Some disused industrial sites (‘brownfield sites’) are very important for reptiles, the disturbed ground and uneven structures providing ideal habitat conditions for reptiles.
