 This title is currently out of stock with the original publisher with no due date.

A Complete Guide to Reptiles, now in a revised edition, provides accounts of more than 900 species of reptiles in Australia. The text of this edition has been completely updated, and 80 additional species are included. All species are illustrated with lively colour photographs showing them in their natural habitat.

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 reptile habitats will help the reader pinpoint the likely location of particular species.

 

 Steve Wilson's lifelong love affair with reptiles has taken him to some of Australia's most remote places. For the past 30 years he has been working to compile a comprehensive photographic documentation of Australia's reptiles. He has also written many magazine articles. For the past 20 years he has worked at the Queensland Museum.

Gerry Swan is an Associate of the Australian Museum and past editor of the journal Herpetofauna. Gerry has written several books and also works as a reptile consultant.
