You have no idea.... January 20, 2005

Just read the book and you will cry you laugh so hard. Just imagine being a student in his class like I am. It is the best class I have ever taken hands down. Whit is remarkably intellegent in all areas of herps and this book is a wonderful example of how dedicated he is to this passion.
I could envision myself in each scenario! December 28, 1998

Whit has portrayed his adventures with herps with amazing wit. Each chapter begins with a narrative about an episode that his zest for "research" placed him in. I read a couple of different chapters to a friend over the phone (imagine an alligator in the cab of your truck!) and we both laughed so hard we were in tears. At the end of each tale is a lesson in sound zoology. Most field biologists will recognize themselves in this book.
Great book. Who'd think an herpatologist could be so funny? January 7, 1998

Whit Gibbons gives a truly funny account of his time as a graduate student and professor, chasing reptiles through the southern US and abroad. It's funny, it's informative. This is no textbook, but rather tales of life and animal research.
