Florida's Turtles, Lizards, and Crocodilians: A Guide to Their Identification and Habits
Authors: R. D. Bartlett and Patricia P. Bartlett
From alligators in backyard swimming pools to tiny lizards on window screens, you don't have to go far in Florida to find reptiles. Both fascinating and feared, there are more than one hundred species and subspecies of turtles, lizards, and crocodilians in the state--nearly half of which are non-native.
Florida’s Turtles, Lizards, and Crocodilians is the most comprehensive field guide available to identify and understand these creatures.
- Range maps
- Vibrant color photographs
- Detailed descriptions
- Tips on herping (similar to birding)
- Where and when to look for different kinds of lizards, turtles, and crocodilians
- How to identify reptiles
- How photograph them
From 200-pound snapping turtles to tiny, legless worm lizards, from animals that live in the open ocean to ones that prefer dry sands, from caimans to terrapins to basilisks (though not the Harry Potter variety), everything you could want to know about Florida’s non-snake reptiles can be found in this book.
R.D. Bartlett is the author of many books and has published more than 500 articles about herpetology in such magazines as Tropical Fish Hobbyist, Reptiles, and Reptile and Amphibian. Patricia Bartlett is the coauthor with R.D. Bartlett of numerous books, including A Field Guide to Florida Reptiles and Amphibians.
