A Field Guide to Reptiles and Frogs of the Red Centre is an essential guide to the herpetological fauna of this iconic area of Australia. Covering every species of frog, turtle, lizard and snake found in the region – more than 150 in total – the book is the ideal companion for anyone exploring this unique place.
The variety of reptiles and frogs that can be seen in the Red Centre is determined by its different habitats and other factors. For example, the country south of Uluru encompasses sandplains, spinifex grass beneath sparse shrubs and closed wattle scrubland. On the sandplains, the Desert Spadefoot – a burrowing frog – comes to the surface by night during summer thunderstorms, while the remarkable Thorny Devil is active during daylight hours. As dusk approaches and the temperature cools, the Night Skink leaves its burrow and the Desert Banded Snake emerges from the sand to forage on the surface. On the hard ground at the periphery of the scrubland, the Western Netted Dragon may be seem basking on logs and rocks close to the ground.
