| This is my slowly growing list of reptiles and amphibians. I collect a "point" for myself each time I positively identify a new species. Unlike birds, which have great resources, guides and map information to help distinguish each species, identifying reptiles can be deceiving. More than once, I have misidentified lizards for Notes from the Road, prompting some herpetologist or herper to write me and so kindly correct me. Here is my list: |
