Florida Reptiles & Amphibians
With its warm, humid subtropical climate, Florida is blessed with the greatest diversity of reptiles and amphibians in the US, making it one of the nation’s top destinations for studying herptiles. Iconic species like American Alligator, Green Anole, Alligator Snapping Turtle, Eastern Kingsnake, Pine Barrens Treefrog, Spring Peeper, and Tiger Salamander are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Legions more native and introduced species inhabit the wet and dry habitats throughout the Sunshine State. Getting well acquainted with the most familiar herptiles is a tall order made easier when you have this handy resource, which features beautiful illustrations of 95 common salamanders, frogs, toads, lizards, snakes, turtles, and crocodilians. This reference also includes essential information on destructive introduced species that are causing so much harm to the Everglades ecosystem. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, and herpetologists who wish to brush up on their identification skills and peer more closely into the fascinating lives of Florida’s herpetofauna. Made in the USA.
