The Book of Snakes presents 600 species of snakes from around the world, covering nearly one in six of all snake species. Snakes can convey both beauty and menace in a single tongue flick, and so these creatures have held a special place in our cultures. Furthermore, 5 species of snakes were found, with only 1 species of snake naturally occur in Yogyakarta.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. Testing the working hypothesis that bands and red are protective against snake predators via their association with ophiophagy, as ophiophagous snakes are at higher risk, I find that the consumption of elongate vertebrates predicts band and red coloration with a very high level of confidence: red and bands are probably defensive against snake predators. He has coauthored twelve new snake species descriptions, two of which are included in this second edition. A look at these creatures from all angles - information on habitat and breeding habits, as well as information on pythons, Komodo dragons, sea turtles, and many more.

Packed with fascinating facts such as physical and behavioural characteristics, this guide also includes focused profiles of 60 snakes, from the Rainbow Boa to the Tropical Rattlesnake.Flicking through the book reveals the amazing diversity of snakes--tiny acid-green Vinesnakes, vibrantly striped Rainbow Snakes and the ghost-like Japanese Aodaisho. Our investigation culminated in the evaluation of 309 species, in which we compiled a final species checklist recognising 166 species (149 native and 17 non-native established species). All snake species found are unprotected, with low-risk IUCN status, and have not been included in the CITES appendix. Science journalist Sally Adee breaks open the field of bioelectricity—the electric currents that run through our bodies and every living thing—its misunderstood history, and why new discoveries will lead to new ways around antibiotic resistance, cleared arteries, and new ways to combat cancer. He is a fellow of the Explorers' Club of New York, Royal Geographical Society, and Linnean Society of London.

The Book of Snakes profiles 600 significant species from all 32 families—one in six of all known species—to create a beautiful collector’s piece that is both a significant resource for enthusiasts and scholars, and the most visually stimulating guide on the market. Abstract There are over 3,700 species of snake found on every continent except for Antarctica, ranging in size from Barbados’ tiny threadsnake to Southeast Asia’s massive reticulated python. Conventional methods such as VES have limitations, which was the inability to detect difficult-to-find animals such as freshwater turtles. The results of the examination showed that the adult worms found were Ascaridia galli worms, with characteristics of having a length of 72 mm, yellowish white color, large size, semi-transparent and including nematode worms. We are the leading training provider of Snake Awareness, First Aid for Snakebite, and Venomous Snake Handling courses in Africa, as well as the largest distributor of quality snake handling equipment on the continent.It is an invaluable and welcomed reference guide to this intriguing group of reptiles and deserving of a place on not only every herpetologist’s bookshelf but also on that of anyone interested in these beautiful, fascinating and, in many cases, endangered creatures. Each profile includes a stunning full-page photograph of the snake, supporting images to highlight important features, and a 'Fact File' sidebar to give at-a-glance information. Children aged 7+ can learn all about snakes from the very first page of this book, which combines little-known information with engaging text and an exciting design.

He has made ten expeditions to Papua New Guinea since 1986 and between 2009 and 2014 was co-leader of a team based out of Victor Valley College, California, conducting the first herpetofaunal survey of Timor-Leste. Another defence posture with strong similarities to 'body bridging' is the forming of a loop, rarely reported in Sonora semiannulata (O'Shea M. His life has revolved around snakes for more than five decades and is an advocate for snake conservation. O’Shea is the author of nine books, including A Guide to the Snakes of Papua New Guinea, which he is currently completely revising.

He has coauthored twelve new snake species descriptions, two of which are included in this second edition. Result on two previous results were found anurans, snakes and lizards but we did not find any freshwater turtles. The most common opinion is that coral snakes display aposematic marks and that other red and black banded snakes in the Americas are mimics of coral snakes.
