"Reptiles & Amphibians of the UK" provides a forum for news and discussions about the British herpetofauna. After a severe corruption of the underlying database and collapse of the original website, and after some restoration work, as a result you will now see a new menu option "Archived Forums". This leads to a basic snapshot of the forum as it was at 29th March 2011. You will find the more recent discussions in "Live Forums". ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
Toads and frogs often conjure up thoughts of wet places--misty swamps and enchanted nights when mysterious calls rise from the water's edge. Although wetlands are crucial to their life cycle, these amphibians don't live exclusively in water. They often emerge from their aquatic homes to become land dwellers. Some hardy toads and frogs even spend their entire winter in the leaf litter of a forest floor or in a deep burrow below the frost line of an open grassland. Over thousands of years, Minnesota's toads and frogs have adapted to survive a wide range of conditions. By learning more about these amphibians, their habitats, and their survival methods, Minnesotans can better appreciate why we need to conserve the wetlands, grasslands, and forests where these fascinating animals live. Their presence is an indication that we are doing a good job of preserving wetland habitat and water quality. Conversely, when toads and frogs disappear, it could mean the ecosystems that sustain them are ailing. ... [Information of the supplier]

This web site treats the reptiles and amphibians of France. The site started in late 2004 and was very different, only dealing with reptiles of the Corbières which is my local region in southern France, it grew to Reptiles of France and then onto Reptiles & Amphibians of France, it has had four major design changes from a dull looking site to what I like to feel confident to say a great looking one. If you have any suggestions on how to modify the site, email me. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Center for North American Herpetology serves as a data bank for information about North American amphibians, turtles, reptiles, and crocodilians, and promotes the study and conservation of them by financial support of selected publications, photography, and any other appropriate medium, as well as the establishment of awards for excellence in research about these fascinating creatures. The herpetofauna in the United States and Canada consists of approximately 590 species. However, new advances in data analysis and technology, plus the appearance of exciting new concepts in taxonomic definition and zoogeography, will certainly reveal that North America (north of Mexico) harbors many more species of salamanders, frogs, toads, turtles, lizards, and snakes than heretofore envisioned. ...
