Synopsis
This comprehensive key for identifying specimens of amphibians and reptiles in the U.S. and Canada - the first since 1983 - incorporates the wealth of scientific findings generated by molecular systematics (the study of DNA to determine genetic relationships) and simplifies identification by making geographic origin a leading factor.

This book provides an extensive key to amphibians and reptiles in North America. If you are studying herpetology, this book has many diagrams in it that really help with keying out dinstinguishing characteristics. Plus, the book is set up simply in plain English. Other keys that I have used were not as extensive as this one, and they were usually confusing. This key takes away all the ambiguity.
Okay key

Some of the taxonomy in this book is a little questionable but it gets the job done. I do not reccomend it for live IDs but only vouchared specimans.
