Check out the Yucatan Wildlife and The Herps of Mexico sites.

Download a nicely illustrated World Wildlife Fund poster, in PDF format and in Spanish, showing the amphibians of the Yucatan. It's called Anfíbios, Selvas de la Península de Yucatán.

In December of 2000, Daniel Kronauer and Frank E. Rheindt made a combined birding and herping trip through the Yucatan. You can see their report, which includes logistical information, lists of birds and herps, and suggestions on literature to read and take into the field on their web page here.
