A Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia, now in its third, revised edition, provides accounts of the 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 ore illustrated with lively colour photographs showing them in their natural habitat.

Species are grouped in families, for example Skinks, Geckos, Monitors, Blind Snakes and Pythons. Each entry includes: a distribution map; a description — with distinguishing features pointed out in bold text; notes on the species' preferred habitat and range; information on subspecies and similar species; and, wherever appropriate, conservation status. Extra photographs show most recognised subspecies; as well as differences within species and between sexes.

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 you pinpoint the likely location of particular species.
