"Stafford and Meyers have produced an excellent general guide to the reptiles of Belize. ...We hope and strongly recommend that Belizean natural history guides, resort owners who cater to natural history tours, and student group leaders buy and use this book."
Herpetological Review
"As a practical field guide the book more than lives up to its title and is a must for any biologist visiting Central America. It will also serve as a significant resource to support biodiversity assessment and conservation programs."
