Book Description

Getting to Know Snakes

Snakes are a fascinating part of nature. Their colour, movement and secretive habits make them seem more mysterious than other animals. For people who are especially interested in wildlife, snakes are a wonderful introduction to the world of nature. For one thing they are everywhere: you do not have to go into a special park or sanctuary to see a snake.

Also some snakes like trinkets and sand boas are easy to keep in captivity. Many of the great naturalists of the world became- interested in animals through pets. Observations of great scientific value are made by “amateurs” who keep a python under their bed, or a lizard in a shoe box.

Many parents will not allow their children to touch, or even go near, a snake. Venomous snakes should certainly not be handled. But holding a harmless snake quickly dispels the fear of all snakes. You learn that snakes are not slimy, and that they are not out to harm you. But first, the beginner must learn to identify snakes correctly and know which ones to avoid.
