I’m interested in finding a book which addresses, in great detail, the chemical composition of various snake venoms, as well as the anatomy and physiology of different venom glands.
I own two books, both by Thomas Eisner which do this with regard to insects:
“Secret Weapons”; ISBN: 0674024036
And
“For Love of Insects”; ISBN: 0674018273
The books are categorized by individual species, with dozens of skeletal structures of toxins and such. His books also include chemical defense mechanisms other than venoms. Once you look through them, you’ll know exactly what I’m looking for.
Does anyone know of a book fitting this description, but involving reptiles?
Thanks,
VV
