Common Names of Australian
Reptiles
Based on the Census of Australian Vertebrate Species
(CAVS) - Reptiles Version 8.1 - 15 June
1995 - Australian Biological Resources Study
(ABRS)
Common
names and cross references added by J W Hardy, Coordinator Wildlife Licensing,
Biodiversity Management Unit, NPWS in July 1997 (Nomenclatural changes updated
1 August 2002)
N.B. Scientific names
generally follow Reptiles and
Amphibians of Australia, H.G. Cogger 1992 with additions and cross
references from Encyclopedia of
Australian Animals - 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.
