The definitive guide to the reptiles of East Africa

East Africa is home to a remarkable assemblage of reptiles, from crocodiles and chameleons to turtles and tortoises, lizards, worm-lizards, and a stunning array of snakes. The region is a true herpetological hot-spot.

Now in its second edition and written by an internationally respected team of herpetologists, this is the definitive field guide to these animals. With concise identification text, detailed maps and packed with photography, this book includes every one of the 500 species in East Africa, covering the countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. All species accounts are accompanied by an accurate range map.

Comprehensive and authoritative, Field Guide to East African Reptiles is an essential tool for all naturalists, conservationists, educators, field workers, medical personnel and students in the region.

Stephen Spawls is a herpetologist who specialises in the reptiles of East Africa, and especially Kenya. His books include Kenya: A Natural History and Handbook of Reptiles and Amphibians of North-east Africa. The late Kim Howell was Professor of Zoology at the University of Dar es Salaam for more than 40 years, having studied the fauna of Tanzania since 1970. Harald Hinkel is a German naturalist specialising in biodiversity and conservation, who has also worked extensively in disaster relief, particularly in Rwanda. Michele Menegon is an expert on East African herpetofauna, having spent most of his time since 1997 conducting research across the region.
