This stunning photographic guide covers more than 190 snake species found across peninsular Thailand, including Phuket island and other popular tourist destinations. Each species description contains essential identification information, with a special focus on how to differentiate dangerous snakes from their harmless lookalikes. There is detailed discussion on distribution, with a separate map covering Phuket island, as well as notes on habitat, the likelihood of encountering each species, as well as whether or not the snake is a potential danger to humans.

Illustrated with over 700 photographs, this beautifully designed book also offers:
– an overview of snake biology
– identification plates for less commonly encountered sea snakes
– a chapter on conservation and threats to snakes on Phuket island
– what to do in case of snakebite
– advice on how to deal with a snake near your home and, for those who are less comfortable around these animals, some tips on how to make your garden less attractive to snakes
– a beginner’s guide to herping (how to find snakes)
– an exploration of the sorts of environments where snakes live
– fascinating notes and anecdotes from the field.

As well as being suitable for dedicated field herpetologists, this is also a perfect introduction for local residents and visitors with little knowledge of these compelling reptiles.
