N.B. Scientific names

Reptiles, Harald Ehmann 1992 and Webster Mulimedia’s Reptiles and Frogs CD-ROM, Harald Ehmann
and Michael Tyler 1996.
Common names have been added
by the NSW NPWS for the purpose of database recognition of species held by
reptile keepers. Where more than
one common name is listed for the one species, the first is that appearing in Encyclopedia of Australian Animals -
Reptiles, Harald Ehmann 1992 and/or Webster Mulimedia’s Reptiles and Frogs CD-ROM, Harald Ehmann
and Michael Tyler 1996. Other common names were lifted from the popular
literature including Reptiles and
Amphibians of Australia, H.G. Cogger 1992; and A Field Guide to the Snakes and Lizards of
New South Wales, Gerry Swan, 1990.
