Description

Puff Adders: The Venomous Landmines of Africa

By Thomas Dorner

Puff Adders: The Venomous Landmines of Africa is the ultimate reference on Africa’s largest genus of venomous snakes—Bitis. A longtime favorite among venomous snake enthusiasts, puff adders have finally received the in-depth treatment they deserve. This comprehensive 300-page volume features over 220 photographs and serves as both a biological compendium and a practical guide for keeping and breeding these impressive vipers.

The book is divided into two main sections. The general section covers puff adder biology in six richly detailed chapters, exploring taxonomy, evolution, habitats, threats, anatomy, venom composition and effects, and even husbandry and breeding. The species section presents all 18 recognized Bitis species, introduced with an identification key and followed by full profiles including origin, size, behavior, venom potency, diet, care requirements, and breeding insights.

Clear structure and accessible language make this a vital resource for both experienced herpetologists and passionate hobbyists. With over 200 scientific references, this book invites readers to dive deeper into the fascinating world of puff adders.
