Overview: The definitive reference guide to all of Africa’s venomous snakes, written by a team of internationally acclaimed herpetologists.
Africa is a true hotspot for snake diversity, with several hundred species. Unfortunately, a scared snake or one that is trodden on may bite, and some have venom that can prove fatal. This book is an indispensable guide to these reptiles, packed with information on the animals along with advice on what to do should the worst happen.
Dangerous Snakes of Africa covers all dangerous snake species in Africa–a total of 136 species, along with 70 species that are easily confused with them. Each species account looks in detail at identification, habitat and distribution, behavior and venom, and how to treat bites, accompanied by a map and a selection of photographs. Introductory sections cover the major snake groups, their distribution and venom characteristics, how to avoid snake bites and first aid advice.
