The Best FL Snake Guide! January 6, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
A well researched, organised guide. This books provides excellent color photos of each of FL's snakes. Goes into great detail about the various habitats of FL and provides a habitat table. Details on identification, habitat, behavior, reproduction, similar species, diet, etc. for each species. Excellent section on venomous snakes. A must for nature or snake lovers. A good reference for residents of the Southeastern US.
A Field Guide to Snakes of Florida August 11, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
An excellent book for both the beginner and expert alike, Mr. Tennant provides excellent photographs of each species, including some photos of juvinelles. His text is highly informative and well written; he dispells myths about certain species, gives accurate distributional data, provides information on the status of each species, i.e. abundance, and has an excellent bibliography. A must for anyone interested in the snake fauna of Florida.
More than an excellent field guide April 4, 2000

This book should be read by all Florida residents, not just those interested in snakes. It discusses the plight of these wonderful creatures in light of man-made and natural changes in their environment. It also goes into greater depth than the average field guide with respect to populations, breeding, personal encounters (always my favorite) etc.. I don't know the author personally but I sincerely hope he is researching field guides for snakes in other states as well. I ordered his book on the snakes of Texas before I finished the introduction to this book!
