There are eleven chapters with sixty-three photographs, more than half of these in color. Written about a time not so long ago when collecting and releasing these reptiles was not as restricted as it is now. The stories are of capturing snakes in the wild. From forests to swamps from backyard to desert. Sometimes with danger sometimes not. But always with excitement. There is a section on the identification of venomous snakes of the United States including precautions and advice on first aid. A chapter on rattlesnake round-ups and their effects on snake populations is discussed. Diagrams explain how a rattle works, how the venom delivery system operates and the efficacy of a striking coil. Fallacies and folklore are examined and set straight. The stories are real. The snakes are exciting. The excitement is real. E.C.O. 915 Seymour, Lansing, MI 48906, (517)487-5595, Fax (517) 371-2709, email; ecoorders@hotmail, website; www.ecouniverse.com.

Download or read book Snake Hunting on the Devil s Highway written by Richard Lapidus and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his first snake hunting trip to southeastern Arizona, the author was taunted and belittled by the owner of a small caf because he expressed a fear of insects. The author extracted revenge by releasing a large rattlesnake in the crowded eatery. That's where the fun begins in this humorous accounting of the true-life trials and tribulations of two unlikely friends, Richard Lapidus and Buz Lunsford, as they traveled hundreds of miles each summer to spend a few days and nights hunting for snakes, and found themselves in the middle of situations (sometimes dangerous--always funny), mainly around the Chiricahua National Monument and Highway 666. More than snakes were encountered on the summer trips, however; and, through humorous short stories, other desert creatures are discussed, including bats, arachnids, lizards, frogs, toads, turtles, birds, skunks, insects, spiders, rabbits, coatimundis, rangers, law enforcement officials and other unusual two and four-legged critters. As Master of Ceremonies of the Warren Earp Days and Western Book Exposition in 2002, Richard Lapidus stood before the large group and told the story of his first snake hunting trip to that very city of Willcox, Arizona. There was so much laughter and good cheer that Richard was overwhelmed. He later dusted off his notes, and with the assistance of many people, assembled the stories in this collection.

In Herping Texas: The Quest for Reptiles and Amphibians, Michael Smith and Clint King, expert naturalists and field herpers, take readers on their adventures across the state as they search for favorite herps and rare finds. Organized by ecoregion, Herping Texas describes some of the state’s most spectacular natural places, from Big Bend to the Big Thicket. Each chapter contains photographs of the various snakes, lizards, toads, and turtles Smith and King have encountered on their trips. Part nature travel writing and part guide to field herping, Herping Texas also includes a section on getting started, where the authors give readers necessary background on best field herping practices.

Herping Texas promotes experiencing natural places and wildlife equipped with solid information and a responsible conservation ethic. Throughout their decades tracking herps, Smith and King have collected humorous anecdotes and fascinating facts about reptiles and amphibians. By sharing those, they hope to dispel some of the stigma and false ideas people have about these misunderstood animals.
