"All Color Book of Reptiles" by Laurence Perkins

The magnificent color photographs from all over the world in this book show how attractive and varied reptiles can be, from garden frogs and tortoises to brilliant-colored chameleons and impressive iguanas. Some of these creatures lead fascinating and complex lives and the author gives a wealth of interesting details about all of them. He explains exactly which snakes and crocodiles are dangerous and writes convincingly of the harmlessness and beauty of some of these creatures.
