With 165 recognized amphibian and reptile species, Alabama management impacts on amphibians and reptiles and through possesses some of the highest herpetofaunal diversity in North incidental encounters during road cruising and field trips. All America. This species diversity is due in part to the seven GPS coordinates are datum WGS 84. All specimens were verified recognized geographic provinces that comprise the state. Many by Craig Guyer and represent new county records. of the records we report here are primarily from Lawrence and Winston counties (i.e., William B. Bankhead National Forest), CAUDATA — SALAMANDERS Madison Co., and Jackson Co. of northern Alabama.
