crocodilians, turtles, lizards, and snakes, with updated color
photographs, descriptions, and distribution maps for each species.
It is an indispensable guide for zoologists, amateur naturalists,
environmentalists, backpackers, campers, hikers, and everyone

Based on more than twenty years of research in the field and in
museum collections, Reptiles of North Carolina is the definitive
work on the 71 reptile species found in the state. It is an
indispensable resource for herpetologists, zoologists, ecologists,
and wildlife managers, and it will be enjoyed by amateur
naturalists as well. For each species the authors offer a
description that includes characteristics useful in distinguishing
the species from similar ones and information on the variation,
distribution, and natural history of the species in the state. Each
account is accompanied by a range map and at least one detailed
drawing that shows characteristics important for identification. A
section of color photographs aids in identification of reptiles.
