Synopsis

“For the first time almost all species and subspecies now known have been illustrated in colour and, in its aim to make identification an easier process, this useful reference offers even more – the photo graphs show colour variation between juveniles and adults of the same species as well as illustrating the diversity between specimens of the same species found in different habitats. The illustrations are matched by a clear and comprehensive text. Opening chapters cover all aspects of snakes and man’s involvement with them. These include notes on biology and lifestyle, collection and preservation, care in captivity and common diseases, venoms, antivenoms, snake bites and first aid. The systematic study of species that follows is accompanied by keys and distribution maps which further aid identification.”
