Books?

Gatorgal Apr 25, 2004 01:26 AM

Are there any books out there with good info on rear-fanged species? Any recommendations? Thanks!

I have not seen anything out there that deals specifically with Opistoglyphs.

For now, your best bet is to find books that deal with the locality of the species you are asking about (which is why I have such a big library).

Can you recommend any locality books that deal somewhat (more than just mentioning them) with boiga dendrophila ssp, ahaetulla or hydrodynastes?

For Ahaetulla and Boiga species a good start is:

A PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE TO SNAKES AND OTHER REPTILES OF PENNINSULAR MALAYSIA by Meril Cox and others (in print)

for Hydronastes:

REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS OF THE AMAZON by Bartlett (in print)

For all three:

LIVING SNAKES OF THE WORLD by Mehrtens ( a classic. detailed care notes)

Try ZOO BOOK SALES they are on line

Whoa I wish I could read German!
Does it come in English?
I couldnt find anything on it online, what is the title of the book in English?
It looks like theres only rear-fanged species of the cover, is this specifically what the book covers?

Thanks!
