" My name is Rick, and I'm a snake-a-holic." This book is a collection of amazing stories from one of the world's leading herpetologists, Rick Shine, who has spent 50 years conducting research on snakes of many different kinds, in many different places around the world, from his home in Australia, through Asia and Europe, to North America and beyond.
