This stunning photographic guide covers 160 snake species found across peninsular Thailand, including Phuket island and other popular tourist destinations. Each species description contains essential information on identifying the snake in question. For harmless and dangerous snakes that look much alike, emphasis is placed on how to tell these apart. There is detailed discussion on the distribution of each species, with a separate map covering Phuket island, notes on habitat, the likelihood of encountering it, as well as whether or not the snake is a potential danger to humans.Illustrated with over 400 photographs, this beautifully designed book includes an overview of snake biology, a chapter on conservation and threats to snakes on Phuket island, 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 and what to do in case of snakebite. Furthermore, there is a beginner's guide to herping (how to find snakes), and an exploration of the sorts of environments where snakes live.Not only suitable for dedicated field herpetologists, this book is also a perfect introduction for local residents and visitors with little knowledge of these fascinating reptiles.
