Herpetology (Reptiles and Frogs) CollectionCollections | Updated 2 months agoThe Herpetology collection contains specimens of reptiles and frogs from throughout Australia and South-East Asia but predominantly Western Australia. The majority of the collection is preserved in alcohol but some dried and skeletal material is also maintained. The collection is used largely for research and reference but also serves a vital role in public education through museum exhibitions. New and exciting discoveries within the collection continue to be made every year. Collection data from this collection is available online through the Atlas of Living Australia: http://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/co122 Splendid tree frog Photo by Paul Doughty Babysteno Photo by Paul Doughty Eremiascincus-richardsonii_Central-Ranges Photo by Paul Doughty Nephrurus amyae - photo from the Central Ranges Photo by Paul Doughty Ctenotus-rubicundus_Pilbara Photo by Paul Doughty Northern Laughing Tree Frogs - photo from Anjo Peninsula Photo by Paul Doughty Bearded-Dragon_Pilbara Photo by Paul Doughty Ctenophorus-rufescens.male_Central-Ranges Photo by Paul Doughty Hetspelea Photo by Paul Doughty Marbled Frog Photo by Paul Doughty Northern spadefoot Photo by Paul Doughty Stonmason toadlet Photo by Paul Doughty Strophurus ciliaris - photo from the Central Ranges Photo by Paul Doughty Thorny Devil - photo from the Central Ranges Photo by Paul Doughty Strophurus taeniatus Photo by Paul Doughty Varanus gilleni - photo from the Central Ranges Photo by Paul Doughty Number of items Approx 173,000
