About The Book

Whether exploring the Gulf Coast, eastern forests and wetlands, central and northern prairies, or the Chihuahuan Desert in the west, reptiles and amphibians abound throughout Texas. The Lone Star State boasts a remarkable diversity that includes 71 amphibians and 160 reptiles, among them iconic species like Texas Horned Lizard, American Alligator, Green Anole, and Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake. Sea turtles are observed off the Gulf Coast, while land-locked wetlands support many frogs, toads, and salamanders. With species from the east, west, and Mexico found in Texas, it's helpful to have a reliable but simplified reference. Beautifully illustrated, this guide features 140 common and familiar herptiles, as well as an ecoregion map showing top viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, our lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and herpetologists of all experience levels. Made in the USA.

The Pocket Naturalist Guides quickly and easily introduces novice outdoorsmen to the wonders of animal and plant life, as well as other aspects of the wilderness. - Camping Life Magazine

Pocket Naturalist guides are to nature-loving backpackers what Cliffs Notes are to teens trying to navigate Shakespeare: essential. - Backpacker Magazine

“The “Pocket Naturalist Guides” are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (3½" x 8¼" folded, open to 22" x 8¼"), designed to be taken into the wilderness. They cover states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience.”
