I've had and used this book since it came out in 1980. I always recommend it to all of the classes and seminars I give on reptiles and amphibians and to all of the people who ask for a good field guide because, for the size and cost, there are none better for this part of the country. Well worth the money if a handy, accurate, well-done field guide with great photos and range maps is what you want.
Excellent book! It's a little more detailed that a typical field guide but what I like most about it is that its specific to our area. So, while I have a larger field guide (for the region) I also really love having this one because it's more focused. In the beginning of the book there's an introduction to habitat with great pictures showing what the habitats look like. The book then goes into the specific species - I was particularly interested in the salamanders and amphibians but the sections on snakes, turtles and lizards are super too. The pictures are great, descriptions cover approx. size, colors/patterns, species that they could be confused with, habitats, and egg laying (timing, incubation etc). Great book to have on hand.
I love this book. We see a snake in the woods, and take note of as many characteristics as we can, then look it up later to learn more about it. Same with frogs, toads, lizards, skinks! The actual information provided for each reptile is slim but very interesting. This is a great book to have if you spend any time in the wild in Virginia.
co-written by by college Herpetology prof. love it!Beutiful book, well illustrated, detailed information, organized wellIf you are a beginner naturalist or a pro, this is the book for you
This is very nice for a used book, having had an original to compare it too, though due to a little spillage mishap, I had need for a replacement. I find the book to be very good, well organized in content with great pictures for reference. I used my copy just the other day doing an Ecology class lab where we caught a darling little Eastern Ribbon Snake. I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in learning more about the herps through the areas of the Carolinas and Virginia.
