I like that is shows detailed maps for all the species. So often sites just give species location by state, which doesn't really help much given the size of our states. I've only seen one legless lizard in Australia. Lucky for me is was the Burton's, which has such a pointed snout that it's completely different looking from all the others. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/4089003
