The Third edition in the series of books regarding Grass Snakes. This edition has nearly 120 pages and over 80 illustrations including black and white photographs in an effort to reduce costs to the consumer. Still a fascinating book which communicates the essential details of a truly amazing reptile, and which is declining in the UK. Find out so much more here than from the cached pages on the internet. It details most things from mating in trees to eating while submerged. Lots of facts, background and details of conservation measures which can help to maintain the status of the Grass snake, Helvetica, now recognised as a separate species.
