There have been approximately 490 snake and reptile species recorded within the political boundaries of the Republic of India, and this guide describes and illustrates 243 of those that one is likely to encounter. Authoritative text by an experienced field herpetologist covers key diagnostic features, biology and distribution, and there are chapters on searching for reptiles and surviving snake bites. Packed with stunning full-colour photographs, each carefully selected to guide identification, this is an ideal pocket-sized guide for travellers
