I absolutely love this book. It is completely up to date with all the recent taxonomic changes of genera and new species. It has photos, natural history, and distribution maps of every species, except maybe a few. An important batch of photos and literature on bites caused by many of the species. Definitely the favorite book on my book shelf. This large book is completely filled with important information and photos. Easily worth twice this list price. I have never seen another book quite like it. In the immediate ranks as some of the great books such as Savage's "Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica" and Gloyd and Conant's "Snakes of the Agkistrodon Complex".

This is a 2 volume set that really has to be seen to be appreciated. I just received it today and I am seriously impressed with what I've seen so far. Definitely a must-have for serious venomphiles.

This should be it! This book is an absolute masterpiece that contains detailed information on every (to my knowledge) species of venomous reptile in the New World. VRWH contains tons of fabulous full color photos including stunning species and habitat shots and some of the most HORRIFIC envenomation pictures that I have ever seen. The two volume set is literally packed full of fantastic line drawings (head comparisons, scale counts, skull structures, etc...) and detailed range maps. VRWH covers a huge variety of topics including distribution, climate, vegetation, topography, morphology, natural history, medical implications, etc.... This is probably the best text on this subject to date. What are you waiting for?.....go get this book!
