Does anybody know where I could find some good information on Wall Lizards/Larcertas? It is one of the only sheets I have left to do and I can’t find anything general about them.

I know this is for the species Common Wall Lizard but it should give you some information.

This may sound really stupid, but I'm new to the team, so...do we only need to know the Official National List? or do we need to know more than that? I thought we might need to know more because you can bring a whole field guide, so yeah. List or more than that? I was planning to create my own field guide but I wasn't sure as to what species I should include. Thanks!

Your state may have a modified list in addition to the National one. If it does, it should be on your state's website. If not, then you just need to know the National list.

Thanks a lot for your help!
But...
for example on the List, it says Crocodiles and Alligators, do we have to know ALL the species of those? or just the difference? Same for the other ones - if it names a family or genus, do we need to know ALL of the species of that family/genus? Thanks again!

See the first couple pages of this thread; the answer is there.
You should only have to know to the extent on the list.

Anyone else have a dilemma between Eurycea and Typhlomolge? I am finding a lot of sources list them as the same....

When in doubt, go with the specifics on the Official National List; be aware that there are many outdated Family and Genera on the list...
Eurycea rathbuniis a member of the Typhlomolge clade of central Texas Eurycea (Hillis et al. 2001).
Hillis, D.M., Chamberlain, D.A., Wilcox, T.P. and Chippindale, P.T. 2001. A new species of subterranean blind salamander (Plethodontidae: Hemidactyliini: Eurycea: Typhlomolge) from Austin, Texas, and a systematic revision of central Texas paedomorphic salamanders. Herpetologica: 266-280
