Exotic Reptiles and Amphibians of Florida

Florida contains more exotic amphibians and reptiles than any other U.S. state. Illustrated species accounts detail the history and nature of each, the mode of dispersal, natural history, and present-day habitat and geographic distribution in the state. The impact of these animals is measured by their presence in natural systems of Florida and predator-prey interactions with native and other exotic species. The authors update the list of the documented exotic species in Florida and provide a progress report on new and published natural history information for each established species. An afterword examines the role people have played in the success of these species.Meshaka, Walter E. is the author of 'Exotic Reptiles and Amphibians of Florida' with ISBN 9781575240428 and ISBN 1575240424.
