Excellent & informative July 2, 2008
Snakes are still not my favorite part of nature, but this book helps identify the different species in North Carolina and understand their ways and habitat. Excellent illustrations. Highly recommend this book.
....Just Right May 27, 2008
Some field guides leave me wanting more information, others have so much detail as to make simple identification difficult. This book was just right. Consistent information format for each species, along with several pictures at different stages of development and gender. Made it very easy to determine what snake we had seen. What originally drew me to this book was that it was targeted specifically to North Carolina, I was surprised to find that some snakes have ranges that do not cover the entire state.

"A Guide To The Snakes of North Carolina" by Michael E. Dorcas is an excellent book for snake identification and FAQ's. I was able to identify the snake that kept showing up in my backyard and after reading the info. on the snake, I no longer feared it. This book has actually helped me overcome my phoebia of snakes and I recommend it to every North Carolina resident!!
