# Snakes by Jules Howard (Paperback)

**The go-to guide to discovering the secrets of the UK's snakes.**  
  
Packed with information, _Spotlight Snakes_ is the go-to guide to discovering the secrets of the UK's snakes, including how to identify and spot them in the wild and the latest scientific discoveries about their life-history and ecology.  
  
Intelligent, active, erudite, combative, sensual and even capable of caring--these are not words usually used to describe snakes, but our ancient perception of snakes as lowly objects inspiring fear and persecution is changing. Few creatures have had more of a turnaround in public interest than the UK's three species of snake, two of which occur widely throughout England, Wales and Scotland.  
  
Snakes are an evolutionary masterpiece, with a legless body plan capable of squeezing into the tightest spots in search of prey, a sensory system based on heat, taste and smell that is almost unrivaled in nature, and an ecology far more complicated than scientists had ever imagined. _RSPB Spotlight Snakes_ is the story of the UK's snakes: how they live, what secrets they hold and why they should be cherished as unique parts of Britain's natural history.
