A good reference on snakes, I think. I don't know much about snakes, so take my review with caution. I found it difficult to look up those I didn't know anything about, but I also don't get a lot of practice & I know from looking up birds & trees that this kind of reference takes practice.

Part of the problem is the pictures. It is impossible to show all the permutations of the most common species around here, the Hog-nosed snake. It does give fairly good, descriptions of habitat, likely ranges & such.

In north-central Kentucky, we're on the very northern edge of the south-east US, just south of the north-east & at the far west of the Eastern range. Many snakes in the book don't usually apply to us, while others that do aren't mentioned - maybe. I think they did a pretty good job on the likely ones.

This book is very well-organized, informative, and has terrific photos of each species. It makes identification easy!
