For a complete guide "A Complete guide to Reptiles of Australia" by Steve Wilson and Gerry Swann. ISBN 9781876334727 Attachment 41462

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-08 Location: Cairns QLD Gender: | | | | Wilson & Swan is good for reptiles, but doesn't cover frogs. Pictures are a bit small, and on occasion not representative (i.e. has some spectacular animals rather than common colour morphs). I think there is a revised edition forthcoming (if not out already). Wilson & Swan seem to have replaced Cogger (now retired).

|  | #44-9aCustom#GR-094 Subscriber | Join Date: Apr-06 Location: Out the Back of Queensland and a bit more Age: 99 | | | | Im currently debating wether to buy the "A Complete guide to Reptiles of Australia" by Steve Wilson and Gerry Swann
or the "A field guide to reptiles of queensland" by Steve Wilson.
Wish I could see them to choose which one to buy from the descriptions and other info they give, but no joy out here.
