	SOUTH OF THE BORDER FOCUS GROUP Due to the considerable overlap of species between the American Southwest and Mexico along with the fact that we share both the Chihuahuan Desert and the Sonoran Desert with Mexico, SWCHR has opted to provide our members a forum for the discussion of all aspects of Mexican herpetology and herpetoculture.
