Product Description
There's been a snake-napping at the River Heights Zoo, and all clues about the thief seem to point in my good friend Charlie's direction. But why would Charlie want to steal a snake? I'm not convinced he's the perpetrator, but with all the circumstantial evidence that keeps popping up, the cops are on the other side of the fence.

Speaking of snakes, George's younger brother, Scott, has been slithering around a lot lately, all sneaky-like. He's not acting like himself, but his lips are sealed about what's wrong. Do these mysteries have anything to do with each other?

Stick around. I'm about to find out! ... Read more

New species and subspecies have been defined, several subspecies have been elevated to species rank, and various taxa have been transferred to other genera. This made me revise, and expand where necessary, the original edition. The present book uses most of the latest taxonomy, and systematic changes are discussed, irrespective of whether they have found general acceptance amongst specialists or not. The major aim of this publication is to portray the vipers of Europe in all their beauty and unuqueness, to describe the individual forms, and to discuss their particular biological needs. ...
