About this book
Each chapter of this natural history takes up one point about snakes: how they feed, whether they drink, what the tongue is for, how they breathe and hiss, and whether they incubate their eggs. Catherine C. Hopley also covers hibernation, tails, fresh-water and sea snakes, the so-called great sea serpent, rattlesnakes, teeth and fangs, venoms and their remedies, serpent worship and snake charming.
The 1882 edition is dedicated to Professor Richard Owen and closes with notes from the Zoological Gardens.
