Close-ups, quizzes, and games with an exciting take on the amazing world of our cold-blooded friends. His many books include Lizards of the World, Venomous Snakes of the World, and Boas and Pythons of the World (all Princeton). This book] provides a valuable glimpse into this fascinating facet of herpetology, and I hope this reference will excite a new generation of naturalists to become explorers of our wonderful planet. Even though this book only covers 600 species of snakes (and I know there are a lot more species out there), but the information provided is really good. Subsequently, we found 6 species of lizards whose natural distribution does not exist in Yogyakarta and even in Indonesia.

There are over 3,600 species of snake found on every continent except for Antarctica, ranging in size from Barbados' tiny threadsnake to Asia's massive reticulated python. Close-up photographs reveal the advantages of powerful jaws and sharp teeth, how a hungry crocodile hunts down its lunch, how some lizards can grow new tails, and much more.
He is professor of herpetology at the University of Wolverhampton and he previously spent thirty-three years as curator of reptiles at West Midland Safari Park. It is an invaluable and welcomed reference guide to this intriguing group of reptiles and deserving of a place on not only every herpetologist’s bookshelf but also on that of anyone interested in these beautiful, fascinating and, in many cases, endangered creatures. Yet, for as many meanings as we attribute to snakes-from fertility and birth to sin and death – the real-life species represent an even wider array of wonders. He has coauthored twelve new snake species descriptions, two of which are included in this second edition. He was awarded one of only eight Millennium Awards for Services to Exploration, by the British Chapter of the Explorers' Club in 2000 and an Honorary Doctor of Sciences degree, for services to herpetology, by the University of Wolverhampton in 2001.Snakes of the World explores their extraordinary diversity, with an in-depth introduction covering anatomy, behavior, habitats, reproduction, conservation, and other essential topics.

He is a fellow of the Explorers’ Club of New York, Royal Geographical Society, and Linnean Society of London. Snakes can convey both beauty and menace in a single tongue flick and so these creatures have held a special place in our cultures.
Such issues have left a complicated legacy of ambiguous records and taxonomic complications concerning the identity of Singapore’s species-rich herpetofauna, many of which were only resolved in the past 30–40 years. He has coauthored twelve new snake species descriptions, two of which are included in the second edition of The Book of Snakes. By far, in Indonesia the identification of amphibian and reptile species in rivers using the e-DNA method has shown less accurate results. The purpose of this study was to identify intestinal worm infections in reticulated pythons (Phyton reticulatus) in captivity.
