They've outlasted the dinosaurs. They live on every continent except Antarctica. And despite appearing in more nightmares than almost any other animal, most snakes are harmless, helpful, and endlessly fascinating.
Snakes Explained: A Handbook for Reptile Fans is a comprehensive guide to the world of snakes, written for the curious reader who wants real answers. Covering over 3,000 species from thread snakes to giant pythons, the book takes you through everything that makes these animals so extraordinary - how they move, how they sense heat, how they hunt and digest prey far larger than themselves, and how they've adapted to thrive in deserts, rainforests, oceans, and backyards.
This handbook is for anyone who's ever been curious about these remarkable reptiles - whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting to look twice before you step.
