This review is from: Amphibians and Reptiles of Trinidad and Tobago (Hardcover)

Being a zoologist frquently contracted by universities, zoos and TV companies, this book has saved much time in the research of locating specimens. The text is well written, concise and accurate. The natural history sections answer most of the questions that would immediately come to mind when trying to plan a trip to Trinidad to study the heptofauna. Worth every penny to the serious scientist in the field!
