Synopsis: The Karoo is home to an array of unique and diverse biota, both flora and fauna. This basic field guide aims to promote interest and appreciation for some of the region’s lesser known and often maligned inhabitants – the reptiles. Fully illustrated, this publication introduces the reader to over 70 reptile species known to occur from Prince Albert to the Swartberg. Diagnostic photographs accompany physical descriptions and field notes for each species, as well as including a brief overview of snake venoms and envenomation by snakebite.
