This review is from: Florida's Fabulous Reptiles and Amphibians: Snakes, Lizards, Alligators, Frogs, and Turtles (Paperback)

Got this book for my nephews years ago and they still get it out every week or so to look for critters they have seen outside. It is FILLED with color photos and just the right amount of text for people who don't want to read but love nature. Now that I know there are other Florida's Fabulous books I will be getting them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Large and full of photos - comprehensive, yet easy to read., March 17, 2001

This review is from: Florida's Fabulous Reptiles and Amphibians: Snakes, Lizards, Alligators, Frogs, and Turtles (Paperback)

Provides great color photos of Florida reptiles (including snakes, alligators and crocodiles) and amphibians. The book is intended for those with an interest in nature, not for experts. While it is easy to read, there are interesting facts about various species that will surprise most readers. However, this book is not intended as a guide for species identification. The book contains information on conservation and the importance of reptiles/amphibians in our environment. Good information on the venomous snakes of Florida. Readers of many ages and backgrounds will enjoy the information & photos in this book. A good investment.

If it's slithering, clawing or hopping around your Florida yard you'll find it in this book. The photographs are very well detailed for easy identification. I also recommend Florida's Fabulous Insects for other creepy crawlies.
