Product Description
This is the first handbook on tortoise management and research techniques that can be applied to gopher tortoises and the concepts can be used for many species. It is designed to be the manual of basic background information on why and how to carry out field methods for environmental consultants, State and Federal agency personnel, tortoise reseachers, and land managers. Many tricks of the trade on how to count burrows, excavate, and trap tortoises are given based on the work of past researchers and the groundbreaking work of the Ashtons. No other publication currently exists that brings together all the methods and techniques for gopher tortoise management which can be used to review techniques used with other tortoises and turtles. Students and environmental consultants working with gopher tortoises and other upland species will find this handbook indispensable. |

Recommended for Herp Enthusiasts of all ranks 
Excellent and authoritative tome written by leaders in the field of gopher tortoise management and research. Chock full of interesting insights and helpful info on the life history, ecology, and management of Gopherus polyphemus. The only disappointment with this nice hardcover book is that there are many spelling errors throughout. Recommended to experts and neophytes alike.
