Of special note it doesn't skimp on groups that are usually poorly represented in books, such as threadsnakes and seasnakes (a typical snake guide only showing a few species of each).If was to offer any criticism, it would be that some of the "actual size" photos appear faded or blurry, at least to my eyes, and don't capture the true beauty and crisp look of the actual snake. If I was to speculate, in some cases perhaps this is due to better photos simply not being available of poorly known species, or perhaps a consequence of editing out a photo's original background and/or changing its dimensions. Regardless, it does little to detract from the enjoyment of the book.I'd also caution readers that the "actual size" images can be misleading. As far as I can tell they appear to represent merely average-sized examples (as the lengths given for a given species show, snakes of any species vary widely in size depending on age and individual), and probably also don't always reflect the actual size of the individual snake in the picture (some appear to be photos of young animals for instance). I'll be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but the book doesn't appear to explain anywhere on how to interpret the "actual size" aspect of the images. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A treat for snake and book lovers *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018* This book is a treasure! Beautiful from the first moment I held it in my hands. Even underneath the dust jacket it is pretty.I just started exploring this gorgeous tomb, but I am sure I will spend many wide-eyed hours discovering all the 600 snake species described. After a few pages of thorough introductory information about snakes, each species is shown on one page, and each is accompanied by a life-sized photo. In many cases this is a photo of the head. Otherwise the book would have mammoth dimensions. ;-) But there are also smaller versions of the photos, to see the whole of the animal described. Each snake also comes with information about location, size, habitat, diet, etc. and a short description. Those who are familiar with Mark O'Shea's other books will know this to be useful and well researched information.And for those crazy book lovers like me: Yes, it even feels and smells great. ;-) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love snakes, you’ll love this book *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019* Beautiful illustrated guide to the world’s snakes. The actual size aspect of it is extremely nice. Snakes that are not featured but related are mentioned. I can spend hours just looking at this comprehensive book. Well worth purchasing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/130438193-the-book-of-snakes-a-life-size-guide-to-six](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/130438193-the-book-of-snakes-a-life-size-guide-to-six) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
