I'm not exactly terrified of snakes, but I'm not entirely comfortable around them either. Nevertheless, every year I have to accompany my snake-loving wife to the local Repticon show to make sure she doesn't come home with several snakes.I'd rather just look at them in books like Mark Farley's "Snakes." With photos and descriptions of almost three dozen snakes from around the world, it's a nice basic primer on snakes, with excellent color photography and brief descriptions of each snake's habitat, size, venomous or non-venomous, and other interesting tidbits.Note: The word "brumate" was used with one snake (California Kingsnake), and I had to look it up. It refers to a type of dormancy in reptiles that's similar to hibernation.
