Description: Laurence M. Klauber; Hardcover; Buy New: $150.00 -- This virtual encyclopedia of the rattlesnake became a natural history sensation when it was first published in 1956. The republication of the Second Edition, with a new foreword by Harry W. Greene, will give amateur and professional herpetologists alike reason to rejoice. Volume 1 covers taxonomy, physiology, and behavior; Volume 2 concentrates on the rattlesnake's interactions with other organisms, including humans. Klauber's detailed and thorough study is still one of the most complete rattlesnake references ever published.Greene's Foreword discusses the initial impact and continuing value of Klauber's work and recounts some of the advances in knowledge of rattlesnake biology during the past 25 years. Also included is an update of rattlesnake taxonomy

I think this is one of the best book ever wrote about the Crotalus and Sisturus species. I have a older copy of the book which dates from the 70s.

This is 1600 pages of pure readable information on Rattlesnakes split into two volumes.This 1996 second edition reprint is a predominatly taxonomic update of Mr Klaubers 1956 first edition.Their is every thing you need to know about these wonderfull animals from:-bodily function,ecology,venom delivery to its affects on the human body,etc the list could go on and on.If you have a deep affection for these animals(and the cash)this is a must have in any proffesional/hobbiests library.The only down side is the photography,its black&white but you could make up for this by purchasing Manny Rubio's book "Rattlesnake Portrate of a Predator" this is the most beautifully illustrated book I have in my collection.
