Arizona Herp List

These are the reptiles and amphibians that David and I saw during our southwestern trip.  They are also in the order that we saw them on the trip. 

We had many "target" species for this trip and would have to say that we got a lot of them.  A couple of species we missed but would have really liked to have gotten would have been a Gila monster and an Arizona ridgenose rattlesnake.
