This is the first book to deal comprehensively with the taxonomy, the ecology and zoogeography, of all Zambian snakes. The three authors have gathered their field experience in Zambia and the neighboring countries. This field guide provides an introductory chapter on the Zambian zoogeography showing the variety of habitat types of the Zambian snake fauna. A series of keys has been compiled to assist in the identification of all Zambian snakes, these are supported by figures showing diagnostic arrangements of head shields and more than 170 color photos. Natural history notes are included, as well as available data on captive care. A comprehensive chapter on snake bite treatment compiles the available knowledge on envenomation and medical care in Zambia and other African countries.
