The purpose of this book is to highlight the potentially dangerous species to humans, with a list of the main potentially medically significant snakes. It is important to note that if a species is not listed below, it does not necessarily mean that it does not exist in Malaysia nor that its bite cannot cause harmful effects in humans. In particular, the list of colubrid (non-front-fanged) snakes has been selective, to include only a number known to be of potential medical significance. It is also important to note that a poor surveillance of the pet trade and irresponsible importation of exotic snakes may introduce a medically significant species, which is not indigenous to Malaysia. This may add to the complexity of managing envenomings in this country.

The user-friendly introduction covers snake topography, how to deal with snake bites and a glossary.

A Naturalist's Guide to the Snakes of Southeast Asia

Covering over 240 species, primarily native but with the odd exotic, this guide is a comprehensive overview of the wide variety of snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles and tortoises found in India. Each description is supported by a colour photograph taken where possible in the snake's natural Indian habitat. The guide looks at the more common species such as the Travancore wolf snake and the Indian black turtle and also focuses on some of the rarer, and in some cases highly endangered, species such as the king cobra, the unique Gharial crocodile and the Indian star tortoise.
