Florida's Fabulous Reptiles and Amphibians is a nonfiction book written by Pete Carmichael and Winston Williams and published in 1991. It is part of the "Florida's Fabulous Wildlife" series by World Wide Publications.
This book presents detailed information about various snakes, lizards, turtles, and frogs native to Florida, accompanied by beautiful photographs. Living in Florida, I have found it to be quite helpful for identifying local reptiles. It is also has very interesting data on each reptile making it fun to read.
I would recommend this book to anyone living in Florida or simply interested in reptiles. It is good to know about the wildlife that lives around you, especially if you, like many, have a fear of snakes. You will find that very few snakes are any danger to humans, and they are in fact very beautiful creatures. You may also like to explore the world of lizards and frogs that cover the state, as well as turtles and terrapins that can be found in our waters. You may learn about the feared and colorful Coral Snake or the bright and friendly Green Anole. You can see many of our wonderful frogs and turtles.
Overall, I think it is an excellent book either for an identification reference or just for entertainment. It's wonderful pictures and information will hold your interest for hours.

This is the second book in this series that I own and have used (the other being on Waterbirds). These books are surprisingly interesting with regards to the natural history accounts; less so with regards to their identification and locale information.

I highly recommend this book to my fellow nature lover's out there. I moved down here from Jersey and this book came in handy identifying the reptiles/amps I keep stumbling across all over the place.
