The New Guy (needs help)

[Rangerboy]

Hi I am "the new guy"

I do not keep many reptiles/ snakes only my pair of Bearded Dragons , reason I joined the forum is I am looking for a book that I don't think exists

I am building up a collection of books on South African Fauna and I need a BIG book on SA Reptiles and Amphibians. I am leaning towards something in the 600 - 1000 page range. To give you guys an idea it needs to be along the lines of "Smithers Guide to South African Mammals."

I figured you guys would be the best to ask as you dal with these critters on a daily basis.

Much appreciated.
