$50 Two Books together:
"Rattler!" by Chris Mattison - rare out of print hardcover. 144pages
excellent introduction to the 30 species of rattlesnakes. Starting with a chapter of basic information on the snakes themselves, which answers such basic questions as how the rattle is formed and how the snakes inject their venoms, the text moves on to cover the general distribution and habitats of rattlesnakes, their origins and evolution, and their interactions with humans. The last chapter covers each rattlesnake species, with capsule descriptions, range maps, habitat, and information on venom. What makes this book a valuable acquisition are the terrific color photographs of the snakes, particularly those in the species descriptions
