With its varied topography of coast, mountains, and desert, the San
Diego region, considered one of the world's biodiversity hotspots,
boasts a rich variety of amphibians and reptiles--from the arboreal
salamander to the green sea turtle to the secretive San Diego
banded gecko and the red diamond rattlesnake. More than a field
guide, this up-to-date, authoritative, conservation-oriented book
is the first comprehensive resource on the herpetofauna of the
region, which is unfortunately also known for its high number of
endangered species. Jeffrey M. Lemm gives information on
identification, habitats, biology, and the conservation status of
all 88 amphibian and reptile species found in the San Diego region.
Many of these animals can also be found in a wide area of Southern
California and Northern Baja California, making this valuable guide
useful for a wide geographic area and a must-have for outdoor
enthusiasts, nature-lovers, and professionals alike.
* Includes a special venom section written by Sean Bush of Animal
Planet's "Venom ER"
* 160 color photographs illustrate the major habitats and all 88
amphibians and reptiles found in the region
* 70 range maps pinpoint the locations of each subspecies
* A new, easy-to-use taxonomic key by renowned herpetologist Jay
Savage as well as line drawings of tadpoles and amphibian egg
masses help make species identification simple
