Description de l’éditeur
In A Field Guide to Reptiles of New South Wales you will find every gecko, flap-footed lizard, goanna, dragon, skink, snake and turtle known to occur in the state. This comprehensive reptile guide narrows down species identification to a manageable size for any naturalist.
The little details that make identification possible lie in the descriptions of families, genera and species; these are accompanied by clear line drawings or photographs. Where you need to eliminate similar species, simple keys are provided. For herpetologists, the spot location maps will prove invaluable.
This fourth edition is a thorough update of the third edition published in 2017 with additional species recorded, generic changes and updated distribution maps.
