A Snake Hunting Guide: Methods, Tools & Techniques
by Will Bird & Phil Peak
Here are some other fieldherpers opinions about it:
Most of the snake literature out there is watered down for a general audience. This book was written by two common, regular everyday "Snake" guys. Not since the days of Kauffeld, have books been truly written for snake guys like this.
They share their experiences and techniques over the years that have yeilded them thousands of snakes in the field.
Their observations and honest opinions are what make this book gold.
his book covers the subject of "field herping" as a whole. They offer wonderful insight into productive measures taken. This book is very honest, and to the point. It is well written in the sense that it's very understandable and not over technical making it a great book for the beginner, with enough substance that a seasoned veteran will be entertained. My only complaint on this book is that I wanted it to be longer so that the fun of it wouldn't stop.
The tools of the trade section I think is especially good for those that lack a support system to learn from. This book is highly recommended to all interested in the natural history of snakes.
Indeed, this is a great little book. Lots of good tips on finding snakes; both how-to and where-to.
This will make a nice addition to your library.
Herp on!
