Books on Reptiles
The North American reptiles are divided into three orders; the Testudines
(also sometimes known as Chelonia) (turtles and tortoises), the Crocodilia
(Alligators and Crocodiles), and the large order Squamata. The order Squamata
is divided into three suborders; the Lacertilia (Lizards), the Serpentes
(Snakes), and a small group, the Amphisbaenia, represented in North America
by a single species, the Florida Worm Lizard. This introductory page lists
sites dealing with all the reptiles. Specific sites may be found in the
