Snakes in Africa

terrylove Jun 03, 2006 10:29 AM

Does anyone know of a guide or field manual for the snakes of central Africa? Specifically the areas of Equatorial Guinea, Congo, Gabon, and Cameroon.

I've heard "The Dangerous Snakes of Africa" is a good all-around book for venomous species. But it's out of print and costs $150 .

I'll be in EG this year and would like to be able to identify some of the local herpetofauna there. I don't care if its in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese. Or if it's a website or printed literature, current or outdated. I'm just really hurting for information on this area of Africa.

English as I am corresponding with a lovely lady of the Yoruba descent in Lagos Nigeria. Even though the main language is English, many books are of German and other language of print.
