Elapids and viperids

Gatorgal Apr 29, 2004 11:48 PM

Looking for books on them, cant find ANY books on elapidae, anyone know of some good books? Especially on elapids? Also any books on rear-fanged species? (I realize I already asked about rear-fanged sp on the other forum, but thought I might get more responses here. ) Books could be those specifically about them or those of which simply have a detailed section devoted to them. Thanks!

I don't know why you're having such a hard time. Any good snake book covers elapids as well as true & pit vipers. A couple that come to mind that deal specifically with certain elapids are:
