A Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia has been the most comprehensive field guide available on the subject since the first edition was published in 2003. As new species are discovered, known ranges are extended and higher quality images become available, updated editions of the book have been written to reflect these changes. This 7th edition of the book includes images, descriptions and maps for over 1100 species of Australian reptiles.
