Updated to reflect the most recent species classifications, a second edition of the beautifully illustrated and beloved guide to 600 members of the suborder Serpentes. For millennia, humans have regarded snakes with an exceptional combination of fascination and revulsion. Some people recoil in fear at the very suggestion of these creatures, while others happily keep them as pets. Snakes can convey both beauty and menace in a single tongue flick, and so these creatures have held a special place in our cultures. Yet, for as many meanings as we attribute to snakes—from fertility and birth to sin and death—the real-life species represent an even wider array of wonders. Now in a new edition, reflecting the most recent species classifications, The Book of Snakes presents 600 species of snakes from around the world, covering roughly one in seven of all snake species. It will bring greater understanding of a group of reptiles that have existed for more than 160 million years and that now inhabit every continent except Antarctica, as well as two of the great oceans. This volume pairs spectacular photos with easy-to-digest text. It is the first book on these creatures that combines a broad, worldwide sample with full-color, life-size accounts. Entries include close-ups of the snake’s head and a section of the snake at actual size. The detailed images allow readers to examine the intricate scale patterns and rainbow of colors as well as special features like a cobra’s hood or a rattlesnake’s rattle. The text is written for laypeople and includes a glossary of frequently used terms. Herpetologists and herpetoculturists alike will delight in this collection, and even those with a more cautious stance on snakes will find themselves drawn in by the wild diversity of the suborder Serpentes.

There are several legless reptiles that crawl rather than walk, the most common of these are snakes. Most snake species are nonvenomous, but there are also some that have deadly venom. Cobras are species of venomous snakes that are commonly called the hooded snake or the snake with a kapel; this account is likely taken because of its similarity to a chapel with a bell tower that has an enchanting appearance. When a cobra is disturbed, it usually rears up and spreads its neck as a display of a threat. King Cobras are everyone's favorite cobra. Not only are they the largest venomous snake in the world, but they are also without a doubt the most royal of the cobras. There is more that you can learn about this peculiar snake. This book will give you information about why these regal snakes are very venomous, even though they don't have high quality venom. What other food do they prey on that is unlike the rest? How they give birth to their young. And what it is like being a snake. Included in this book is a set of more than 20 descriptive photos to heighten the reader's understanding of their defenselessness as a crawling animal, their cunning skill while moving around, their first defense when frightened or threatened, and how they strike when all other options have been exhausted.
