An up-to-date and comprehensive herpetological guide to Alabama.
Lizards and Snakes of Alabama is the most comprehensive taxonomy
gathered since Robert H. Mount's seminal 1975 volume on the
reptiles and amphibians of Alabama. This richly illustrated guide
provides an up-to-date summary of the taxonomy and life history of
lizards and snakes native to, or introduced to, the state. Alabama
possesses one of the most species-rich biotas in north temperate
areas and this richness is reflected in some groups of lizards,
such as skinks, and especially in snakes. The authors examine all
known species within the state and describe important regional
variations in each species, including changes in species across the
many habitats that comprise the state. Significant field studies,
especially of Alabama's threatened and endangered species, have
been performed and are used to inform discussion of each account.
The life-history entry for each species is comprised of scientific
and common names, full-color photographs, a morphological
description, discussion of habits and life cycle, and a
distribution map depicting the species range throughout the state,
as well as notes on conservation and management practices. The
illustrated taxonomic keys provided for families, genera, species,
and subspecies are of particular value to herpetologists. This
extensive guide will serve as a single resource for understanding
the rich natural history of Alabama by shedding light on an
important component of that biodiversity. Accessible to all, this
volume is valuable to both the professional herpetologist and the
general reader interested in snakes and lizards.
