Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I would really like to find a book on reptiles and amphibians of the southern Mexico and Guatamala area. If there is anything published on snakes specifically this would be great but I highly doubt it. I would also like to get as geographically specific as possible (as in southern states like Chiapas and/or Campeche). Anything about surrounding areas like Guatamala or Belize would be appreciated but I am really hoping for Mexico.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

(this is not for any specific reason other than it being an area I like and would like to read up more on the wildlife to possibly plan a trip)

Don't be think'n of another herp trip down south anytime soon. I don't think I could be any more jealous of you

Sorry, but I don't have any lit. of ya.

Well my plan to travel along the coast of Baja California Norte down the west coast of the Sea of Cortez did not work out (people, hospitals, insurance, yada yada) . I ended up teaching elementary and high school classes about snakes. It was a good time but Chiapas would be more fun.

In all fairness too...my south Baja trip was kind of a bust because my money was taken on the biggest hike planned in the best area.

A trip is not going to be planned in the next month or anything because I need save up a bit of "lana." SO if it is something you might be interested...you would be welcome to come along if I can make it happen.

But first I need a book

You might try Larry Kenton at Mdreptilefarm.com He has pretty much every book available. If it's been written, he has it.

Looks like exactly what I asked for...it would be hard to ask for more

Larry had it?

I did not check if he had the book "in stock" but I will give a call before trying to order from anywhere else. He had quite a literature list there.

If it's on his list, he probably has it. lol...he lives 10 mins from me.
