Picked up the book "Australian Snakes - A Natural History" by Richard Shine and are currently reading it. It is a very good book, not a species identification book but a very good discourse on the evolution and biology of australian snakes.
I highly recommend the book. |

I was going to buy it anyhow from HerpTrader but at the end of the meeting they announced the book and price so I grabbed one. I think there were two others as well but I think they were also sold. |

It looks like awesome reading, and when my vision improves, I can't wait to read it! LOL |
