A great introduction January 13, 2004

This book is a fantastic introduction to vemomous snakes and gives a good overview of their biology, morphology and requirements in captivity. Some of the info on captive keeping is out of date (recommendation of hot-rocks being one particular mistake) with current opinion but this does not take away from the book as a whole. One of the most memorable elements must be the georgeous glossy photos that show the full impact of their subjects colours.Anyone looking to keep venemous snakes needs to do more than just read this book but it is a good starting point!
Fantastic title with detailed information April 5, 2002

This book has to be the best work available on veneomous species. Topics covered (in excellent detail I might add), include evolution of venomous reptiles, the various types of venom (haemotoxic, neurotoxic etc), classification of venomous snakes by fang position and mobility, "venomoid" snakes, housing, security, rodent breeding (excellent chapter!), and species guide. I really can't fault this book, I enjoyed it immensely and re-read it regularly. Add it to your collection today!
