85. Western Australian Society Of Amateur Herpetologists A society of people with a common interest in herpetology, who share information and experiences http://aerg.canberra.edu.au/pub/aerg/herps/socwasah.htm

Western Australian Society of Amateur Herpetologists Natural history is a subject that enthrals many people. Although some have a general interest, many are drawn to a more specific field of study. This could be flora generally, or specifically trees, wildflowers or fungi. Others are drawn to the mammals, birds or fishes. One member has a friend who is enthusiastically involved in the study of molluscs: "slimy little beasts that sometimes live in shells". We could not think of anything less interesting, but then our affinity is with reptiles. The enthusiasm he displays when talking about molluscs is no less than that displayed by us reptile-lovers. And with no more than a passionate interest, he has made an important contribution to knowledge of molluscs. For some people, their interest in natural history is so strong that they can no more live without it than live without oxygen. It may even be suggested that this obsession is determined genetically! In Australia, amateur natural historians have made a large contribution to our knowledge of the native fauna and flora. There are formal societies and clubs for those involved with reptiles. these allow reptile-lovers to meet others of similar ilk, to share information and offer encouragement and direction to the next generation of interested youngsters. The Western Australian Society of Amateur Herpetologists (WASAH) was initiated informally in November 1990. Our initial aims were to lobby the relevant government ministers and negotiate with the Department of conservation and land Management (CALM) to get amateur herpetology recognised as a hobby in Western Australia. In late 1998, I am happy to say, the corner was turned and now CALM and WASAH are working together to establish for the first time in Western Australia a licensing system to allow the private keeping of reptiles and frogs. This will bring us into line with all other Australian States and Territories.

Fort Matanzas National Monument is indicated in green. 'A' is the beach access road and parking lot. 'B' is the main entrance into Fort Matanzas National Monument, the Visitor Center, parking lot, nature trail, and ferry to the fort on Rattlesnake Island. 'C' is the parking lot and boardwalk to the Matanzas River. 'D' is the parking lot and boardwalk overlooking the oak maritime forest and dunes meadows. You can also use the buttons on the upper left to visit the frogs and toads, the lizards, the snakes, or the turtles, to see a list of all the species, or to learn about their habitats. This document formatted for the WWW by F. Wayne King and Kenneth L. Krysko, 1999 Only 38 species of amphibians and reptiles are known from Fort Matanzas National Monument. Fort Matanzas National Monument occupies 138 acres (56 hectares) on the southern tip of Anastasia Island and 175 acres (71 hectares) on the northern third of Rattlesnake Island — barrier islands separated from the Florida mainland by the Matanzas River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Fewer species of amphibians and reptiles are found on coastal barrier islands than on the adjacent mainland, primarily because freshwater is scarce. Amphibians and reptiles on the islands must be able to find what little moisture is available and to survive until the next rain.

The two groups of animals are only distantly related but have traditionally been placed together as a research discipline, particularly in museums. The herpetology collection of the Australian Museum is extensive and broadly based, and includes a number of specimens of historical significance. Research at the Museum in recent years has focused on lizards, the richest and most diverse group of reptiles in Australia. Scientific information and oversight was provided for Herpetology by Ross Sadlier and Allen Greer.

95. Herpetology herpetology. These foul and loathsome animals are abhorrent because of theircold body, pale color, cartilaginous skeleton, filthy skin, fierce aspect http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/cbd/main/geninfo/herpeto.html

Herpetology "These foul and loathsome animals are abhorrent because of their cold body, pale color, cartilaginous skeleton, filthy skin, fierce aspect, calculating eye, offensive smell, harsh voice, squalid habitation, and terrible venom; and so their Creator has not exerted his powers to make more of them." - Carolus Linnaeus (1758) Herpetology is the study of amphibians and reptiles. The two groups are included under a single discipline because historically, they were considered "lower forms" and not worthy of detailed investigation. With further study came the realization that, although they share generalized morphological and physiological similarities, there are important differences between the class Amphibia and the class Reptilia. Chief among these is the relationship to moisture. Amphibians are constrained to wet or moist environments because their skin and egg membranes are permeable to water. Reptiles, on the other hand, are less dependent on water because they have a scaly waterproof skin and their eggs are protected by a thick shell. Amphibians and reptiles account for almost half of extant tetrapod species. Within this group exists an incredible diversity of ecology, behavior, morphology and physiology. Currently recognized are over 4,500 extant species of amphibians divided into 41 families in 3 orders, and over 6,500 extant species of reptiles; 50 families in 4 orders.

96. Florida Venomous Snakes 1 Illustrated field guide to the venomous snakes of Florida. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/herpetology/fl-guide/venomsnk.htm

Florida Museum of Natural History’s Guide to Florida’s Venomous Snakes Although 45 species of snakes are found in Florida, only the 6 listed here are poisonous and a danger to humans—see Checklist of Florida Amphibians and Reptiles . The remaining 39 species (and 41 subspecies) are harmless and should be protected for the beneficial role they play in natural ecosytems, eating insects, rodents, rabbits, and other small prey. If you are interested in all of our snakes, then you should visit our 'Online Guide to the Snakes of Florida' A word of caution is warranted here. If you find a snake and you do not know whether or not it is poisonous, the safest thing to do is leave it alone. Florida snakes are not aggressive and, unless they are cornered, most will flee when humans approach. Occasionally, you might encounter one that is reluctant to leave because it is basking in the sun to get warm. Among snakebite victims, an unacceptably high number are bitten on the hands and arms when they are handling the snake. Do not catch a snake and do not handle one unless you are sure it is not poisonous.
