~30 guineas currently, very few ticks but are they eating beneficial things as well?

We are not seeing any snakes, toads or lizards either. We have always found many small reptiles around here before.
We have been clearing "dead-fall" etc but there is plenty of shelter and rocks etc here. We are in a very rugged area that
is prone to wildfires if controlled burns are not done seasonally. Going through the woods moving logs etc, no reptiles
but plenty of assorted bugs. S.E. Oklahoma, Kiamichi mountain range.

Anyone home? Nobody but us chickens!

Are you curious if the guineas are possibly eating all the reptiles, too?  I know chickens and turkeys will eat just about anything small enough to swallow, if they should be predisposed to that sort of thing.  I don't have guineas, but from what I've heard about them I wouldn't doubt it if they ate small critters, too.   But I would think that their first target would be the bugs.  There might be a lot of factors to reptiles being scarce- even if it's just that the guineas are eating all their prey!  Those reptiles and amphibians need to eat ticks, locusts, flies, and all manner of things that the guineas will also be looking for.  It could simply be that they've been pressured out of the area because of food competition.
