About this book

This book provides the most comprehensive account of more than 800 species of reptiles in Australia. For the third edition, the text has been fully updated and about 80 additional species are included.

The reptiles are illustrated with lively colour photographs showing them in their natural habitat. Species are grouped in families, for example Skinks, Geckos, Monitors, Blind Snakes and Pythons. Each entry includes a distribution map, a description - with distinguishing features picked out in bold text - notes on the species' preferred habitat and range, information on subspecies and similar species, and, wherever appropriate, conservation status.

The book also explains how reptiles are classified, how scientific and common names are applied, how to measure a reptile and how conservation status is determined. Photographs of different reptiles' habitats will help you pinpoint the likely location of particular species.
