Poking his head out

I am using the audobon spelling? reptile guide. It has all the reptiles of north america i think. I will double check the name when i get home. What other ones would you suggest.

That's the only problem with reptile guides for the entire country. You see something you looks like something you just saw, yet you find out it's native to the complete opposite end of the country.

Here's a good website for Florida snakes.

I have Tennant's Florida guide and it is without a doubt the best book on Florida snakes that I have seen. I need to get a copy of his Texas guide, as CAV says "if you like alterna, it's a must" :cheers:

Well, is it going to tell me where to go in the ANF and how to catch some snakes?

Not exactly, but there is a detailed section on each type of habitat found in the state along with the abundance of species found in them. There is also a chapter called "Paradise Almost Lost" which details the way field herping USED to be in Florida.

No one in their right mind would mistake a black racer for a cottonmouth, LOL they are even easy to tell apart from water snakes. The Adubon sucks, use Tennant's. If you have any questions about native snakes you can always ask me I can ID 98% of the snakes in Florida.
