Snakes of Tasmania | Simon Fearn | QVMAG Natural History Series | 2015 [NEW – SC]

A concise guide to Tasmania's three snake species — the Tiger Snake, Lowland Copperhead and White-lipped Snake — all venomous to varying degrees.

Written by Simon Fearn and published by the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) as part of their Natural History Series, the book covers the biology, habits, distribution and identification of each species, with colour illustrations throughout.

At 58 pages this is a practical reference for anyone spending time in the Tasmanian bush who wants to know what they might encounter and how to respond. Tasmania's snake fauna is smaller than the mainland's but the species present are among the most venomous in the world — the Tiger Snake in particular is responsible for most snake encounters in settled and semi-rural areas. This guide gives you the information to identify and understand them.
