Venomous Reptiles of the Western Hemisphere

WOW!!!......Just recieved two copies of these books and I am totally impressed! I haven't really dug into it yet....but this is one amazing book already! TONS of full color photos.....line drawings and some of the most HORRIFIC bite pics I have ever seen (check out plate 1420!!!). Oh ya...and its TWO huge volumes.

I recommend this book to any venomous reptile enthusiast. Simply fantastic! Nothing like it on the market to my knowledge....Well, except for the original TVSOLA (but I still haven't been able to get a copy......anybody want to trade theirs for my extra copy of TVROTWH???)

Almost any internet book dealer such as Amazon.com will carry this book. Just search for it on their site.

Looks like a great book. Thanks to some of those photos, I will now be sure not to ever get nailed near the mid-body!

Hmmmmm I am going to have to check this one out!

2 volumes for 150 is a good price if the info is good.

The info is absolutely killer! I would have to say that this is the best venomous reptile text I have ever seen. Simply fantastic.....If you only get one book this year THIS SHOULD BE IT. The price is dirt cheep for what you get. I have paid almost twice as much for books half this good.

People of Ontario.... Help save Scotties back. These books are packed with tonnes of info and as a result they are quite heavy.
Please buy your copy from him and help save his back. We must unite on this cause people! I've done my part now do yours....
