“A revised and expanded edition of this authoritative field guide to all Australian land snakes.
Graeme Gow, former curator of reptiles at both Taronga Zoo and the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory, has over the years collected a large variety of snakes throughout Australia and specialised in studying their habits in captivity.  In this comprehensive study, he has arranged the information on each species in a concise and easy form so that quick reference to distribution, description, size and habits can be made.
Snakes of Australia also includes chapters on up-to-date treatment of snake bite and on the care of snakes in captivity, including housing, temperature, food and the treatment of common diseases, parasites and wounds.  For this edition, five new colour plates have been added to the striking photographic section which covers most of the snakes discussed.”
