ARAV was founded in 1991 with the aim of improving reptilian and amphibian veterinary care. It is a non-profit organisation of approximately 1300 members. The Web site provides information about the organisation, membership details and list of members, the ARAV Bulletin including indices, and the annual conference. There are also pages on grants, jobs, announcements and a page of links. veterinary practice reptiles professional associations international organizations ... Journal of herpetological medicine and surgery The Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Association of Reptiles and Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV).

Extractions: The Herpetology Division and its collection of amphibians and reptiles is one of the research units of the Texas Natural History Collections in the Texas Memorial Museum of Science and History at the University of Texas at Austin. The collection began as a nucleus of research and teaching materials assembled by W. Frank Blair and his students in the Zoology Department; these were transferred to the Museum in 1950's. The holdings consist of about 61,000 catalogued specimens, which are used for research by faculty, staff and students at the University, as well as by qualified researchers throughout the world. The collection is also used for teaching courses (e.g., Vertebrate Natural History, Comparative Anatomy, and Herpetology) in the School of Biological Sciences. David Cannatella , Curator, catfish@mail.utexas.edu Preserved Specimens The specimens in the Herpetology collection were fixed in formaldehyde and are currently stored in 70% ethanol; this is a standard museum procedure for this type of material. The specimens are housed in specially designed rooms at the Texas Natural History Collections building at the J. J. Pickle Research Campus. Each specimen is given a unique number through which the data associated with the specimen (such as where and when the animal was found, and who found it) can be looked up, e ither on computer or in older, hand-written catalogs. Each jar has a label listing the specimens it contains, and the jars are arranged on shelves by species, genus, family, etc., in a phylogenetic system that indicates the evolutionary relationships of the animals.
Extractions: There are currently no recognised subspecies. Hall (1989) described morphological and reproductive differences between northern and southern populations due to their geographical isolation - different populations are separated by a mountain chain running between Irian Jaya and Papua New Guinea. The northern form always has 4 post-occipital scales on the neck, but the southern form can have between 4 and 6. The northern form nests in the dry season, whereas the southern form nests during the wet season. The southern form lays fewer, larger eggs which hatch into significantly (by 5 cm) longer hatchlings on average. Despite these differences, different subspecies are not recognised at this time (relatively minor intraspecific differences due to genetics or environment are not uncommon in crocodilians). Until recently, however, this species was split into

Online Guide To The Snakes Of Florida s and photographs, information on ecology and behavior, and identification of all 45 species. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/herpetology/fl-guide/onlineguide.htm
Extractions: If you live in Florida and you would like to know more about the snake you found in your backyard, or in your swimming pool, or the one you saw in the pine flatwoods, or crossing the road, this Guide will answer your questions. It is the best online source of information about Florida snakes: The answers to these questions and many more are in the pages that follow. If you see a snake, but do not know what it is, the 'Key to Identification' (above on the left) will help you identify it. If you already know what species the snake is, you will find information about it by clicking on its name in the 'List of Florida Snakes'. This Guide was written in non-technical terms for the average citizen, the homeowner, gardener, fisherman, camper, birdwatcher, teacher, student, resident, or tourist, who would like to know more about Florida snakes. If you are a herpetologist, amateur or professional, you will be disappointed because the usual scientific jargon has been replaced with terms anyone can understand. When the meaning of particular descriptions might be in doubt, links are provided to explanatory illustrations and photographs.
Extractions: Freshwater riverine (middle and lower parts of the Orinoco river) in Llanos savannah - which becomes waterlogged during the rainy season, creating temporary seasonal rivers. Used to be found in a wider variety of habitats (e.g. tropical evergreen forest, streams in the Andes' foothills). In the dry season, water levels become very low and available habitat in the llanos disappears. C. intermedius

Extractions: The Bulletin of the Philadelphia Herpetological Society , Vol. 31 Gekkonid Lizards from Five Quarters Meet in Israel Yehudah L. Werner Department of Zoology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 91904 Jerusalem, Israel. Abstract Israel harbors up to 12 species of Gekkoninae: Of 3 Mediterranean taxa, 2 Occur only in northern Israel; of 6 desert species, 4 are Saharan and inhabit SW Israel; 1 is local in the Levant; and 1 species is endemic to Mt. Hermon. Aspects of their biology are discussed. Additional species in Sinai and Jordan are mentioned. Introduction Fig. 1 Methods The Gekkoninae of Israel Mediterranean Species: One species, which occurs commonly throughout Israel, is the Turkish gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Fig. 2) . Elsewhere it inhabits the Mediterranean countries (including those to the North, East, and South of Israel) and in recent decades has been spreading in the Western Hemisphere, including the southern U.S. (McCoy, 1970). In Israel it inhabits rocks, earth bank crevices, tree trunks and houses. Formally the populations of both the mesic (relatively humid) habitats in northern Israel and those in the southern deserts belong to the same subspecies, H. t. turcicus

Extractions: This species was originally considered to be a subspecies of either C. porosus or, more recently, C. novaeguineae (i.e. C. novaeguineae mindorensis ). There is limited evidence for a separate species called C. raninus , which is very similar to C. mindorensis but restricted to Borneo, to be resurrected. There is considered to be insufficient evidence to justify this, however, and C. raninus

Extractions: A highly aquatic species, found primarily in riverine habitat with dense vegetation cover. Also found in large lakes. Individuals have been found in more brackish water, near the coast, and even on an offshore island (Bioko Island). These reports are unusual, but they do indicate a moderate salinity tolerance.
