Although reptiles and amphibians belong to two distinct taxonomic groups, they are traditionally studied together: they tend to be found in the same places, and methods for finding and collecting them are often similar.
This is the newest, beautifully illustrated and highly informative nature guides produced in association with the Smithsonian Institution.
Snakes and Other Reptiles and Amphibians is compact and easy-to-use, including stunning photography, and a comprehensive catalog of cold-blooded creatures including snakes, frogs, crocodiles, and lizards.
