About The eBook
Renowned aquatic snake authority John Murphy, over a dozen coauthors, and more than 120 photographers from 30 countries came together to create this 712 page eBook, which covers more than 400 species of aquatic snakes, for the most complete look at the topic to date. From submerged crayfish burrows to coral reefs, snakes have conquered a wide host of aquatic environments, and this book covers (nearly) them all. Among the species included are the elegant sea snakes and sea kraits, gracefully navigating the ocean depths throughout their entire lives. There are also the semi-aquatic snakes, which effortlessly transition between land and water, encompassing diverse groups like boids, pythonids, dipsadids, natrids, viperids, and more. Additionally, the book covers the fascinating aquatic mud snakes, homalopsids, known for their unique adaptations to specific aquatic environments, and of course file snakes, also known as elephant trunk snakes, or the acrochords.
