Dr. Gibbons has a rare gift for turning the dry prose of scientific journals into engaging and delightful narratives as he shares his life-long fascination for reptiles and amphibians with the reader. While much of the content is devoted to non-venomous herps, he does include a rather compelling account of an encounter with a 9' bushmaster. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be a professional herpetologist, then this is the book to read. Of course, if you want to know what not to do with a 'gator after you've caught it, you'll just have to read Ecoviews: Snakes, Snails, and Environmental Tales by Whit and Anne R. Gibbons.
