About Australia

These pages were initially a joint effort between  John Hollister  of Texas, USA and  John Fowler  of South Australia. Both of us have many years experience as avocational herpers. Over the years both of us have kept many species of herps and have taken many pictures.
     Most of the pictures are supplied by John Fowler, most pages were initially designed and built by John Hollister but are now being updated by John Fowler.

  Help wanted!   If you feel qualified to write up a species that is not yet done or have pictures to contribute, please  go here  for more info..
     Many herpers dream of going to Australia to see their amazing reptiles but will never get the chance to do so. Finding good pictures and information on Australian herps is a tedious chore;  we hope to make this chore a lot easier by providing as much basic information and as many pictures as we can on one site. We want to make this the only stop necessary for Australian reptiles and reptile links.
      Our thanks and  credits  to others have contributed to making this one of the top Australian reptile sites.
     These pages are a work in progress. New pictures will be acquired, nomenclature will change, errors will be pointed out, and we doubt that the work will ever end.

The state pages may contain maps or lists of the reptiles found in that state and possibly links to habitat pictures for that state.
