I received "Venomous Snakes of Asia" by Gernot Vogel today, and I must say it is an outstanding book covering all of the venomous snakes in Asia.

However, he sticks with Trimeresurus as the genus, instead of Malhotra,A. and R.S, Thorpe' reassessment of the genus Trimeresurus. Perhaps Vogel's work was "in press" while the name change was suggested.

Doesn't matter, taxonomony is always changing and the more things change, the more things stays the same.

The book is 8 1/2 X 11", has 148 pages, and gorgeous photographs.
Photo's of habitat of various species are shown as well.Maps of where species are found are also included.

This is another "must have" book for people working with of S.E. Asian pitvipers.

He can't do that Tim! If he doesn't have a copy how am I supposed to steal it from him the next time I drive down to his place?

Tim,
I have your copy of Venomous Snakes of Asia,

Also, I will include 30 pounds of Dry Iguana Food.

Randal

Thanks for the offer but Eric's was better! And his did not include the Iguana food. Is the Iguana food replicating? I thought you started out with 5lbs?

Cheers..

I received an email from Gernot last month, and he said there still working on it!

Randal

OK. Thanks from the info.
How much the Venomous snakes of Asia has info about "trimeresurus" species? I'm mostly interested Asian pitvipers so is it better to save my money for that upcoming book..

And does someone know does upcoming Pitvipers of the Trimeresurus-Complex covers the new taxonomy of trimeresurus species or the old one?

Best wishes Sami

Considering the history of interaction between the authors of the book and the proponents of the new generic classification, I think you can probably assume that the book will stick largely to the old arrangement
