Snakebit: Confessions of a Herpetologist

Snakebit traces the author’s journey from a childhood fascination with snakes, through academic flirtation, to professional association with some of the world’s greatest herpetologists. It leads the reader through desert, swamp, jungle, and lab to reveal the strange world of reptiles and amphibians and the often stranger fraternity that pursues them.
