Herpetology Species Page

These pages are the result of an assignment given in the Herpetology course Spring of 2000 at Yale University, and Spring of 2006 & 2010 at Western Connecticut State University. In future years the site will grow to include a greater diversity of amphibians and reptiles.

The students enrolled were required to design pages pertaining to their choice of an amphibian or reptile that resides in the United States, East of the Mississippi River, or Puerto Rico (denoted by asterisk*). In 2010, students were asked to update existing pages. Each set of pages contains serious scientific information (scientific journal references, location of type specimens, museum holdings, etc.) as well as information of more general interest (pictures, behavior, etc.) about the species.

Each set of pages is designed in a different style since the students were free to experiment with their format and HTML knowledge. Please note also that the pages were designed and written by individual students, and checked by the instructors. The content contained in the pages appears to be correct. We encourage visitors to email comments and constructive criticism to Dr. Theodora Pinou.
