Nonvenomous Snakes
Slimy, Scaly, Deadly Reptiles and Amphibians
Just because a snake is not poisonous, it doesn't mean it's harmless. The nonvenomous anaconda, which is also the world's longest and heaviest snake, can suffocate large mammals before swallowing them whole. This book looks at a range of nonvenomous species and answers some of the questions that are most commonly asked about all snakes. Interesting sidebars and detailed illustrations support the text.
