Product Description

Synopsis
Snake expert Carl Ernst and co-author Evelyn Ernst reveal the unusual lifestyles of these fascinating creatures, describing every known aspect of each of the 131 species found in the United States and Canada. From the venomous rattlers to the docile garter snakes, each species is shown to display a unique set of behaviours and adaptations to its environment. More than simply a field guide, this reference begins with an introduction to snake biology and evolution, which is followed by an identification guide and key to the North American species. The heart of the book is the species accounts which, accompanied by colour photographs, provide detailed information on identifying features, geographic variation, known fossils, current distribution, habitat type, behaviour, reproduction, growth, diet and predators. Completing the book is a glossary of terms and a comprehensive reference section.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great buy, 29 April 2009

By	Andrew Hodgson (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This a fabulous comprehensive reference to North American snakes. Full of scientific rigour, it also makes a fascinating read for amateur herpetologists, or anyone interested in snakes of region.
Every species is covered in considerable detail (the book is over 600 pages long), and distribution maps and excellent photos are included.
