Yale Herpetology Page

These pages are the result of an assignment given in the Herpetology course (Spring of 2000 and Spring of 2002) at Yale 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. 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 (usually) brand-new 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.
