comprehensive coverage of all known families of lizards. Rogner outlines the geographic distribution along with the natural habitats and lifestyles for each species.

Detailed descriptions and copious color photos illustrate physical
characteristics of the lizards. Volume 1 describes Geckoes, Flap-Footed Lizards, Agamas, Chameleons, Iguanas, Basilisks, and Anoles. Volume 2 examines Knob-Scaled, Beaded, Monitor, Alligator, and Plated Lizards; Cordylids; Lacertids; Skinks; Smooth and Night Lizards; Teiids; Worm Lizards; Tuataras; and Crocodilians. | |
