5.0 out of 5 stars incredibly interesting book, January 7, 2001
By A Customer
This book was unbelievably interesting. I only expected to just look at it quickly but found myself looking at every page, and finding something that was like "wow' on every one of them.

There were a lot of short articles on many subjects and they were written in a fun and light manner and were really easy to read. Some of it made me laugh, and I learned a lot about snakes in general, for example, their mating habits, and about dangerous snakes, (lots of great stuff on that) and rattlesnake facts and all kinds of things I've never seen in other books.

The author seems to have gotten lots of tips for owners from snake owner newsgroups or mailing lists of people who owned snakes because I found a lot of very practical stuff on how to keep snakes, and what to do about mites, and how to handle neighbors who hate snakes, and feeding snakes and terrariums and traveling outside with a snake all from people who had snakes.

If the author wrote another book on this subject I'd buy it in a second but for the time being, this is the best book I've ever seen on snakes. I will keep it always because I like snakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for snake keepers or potential snake keepers, June 26, 1999
By A Customer
Ths is a fun book to read if you have any interest in snakes, and a vital part of your library if you keep snakes, or contemplate keeping them. There are lots of "how I do it" tips from experienced snake owners that aren't found in most other snake care books, such as how to safely transport your snake with you in a car, or how to keep your snake cage cool during a heat wave. These helpful hints and fascinating facts are written in a lively manner, with a lot of humor. While the sections are short so you can consider it "bite-sized" reading, I found it hard to put the book down before the last page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in snakes., May 4, 2000
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
277 Secrets Your Snake Wants You To Know is an easy-to-red, informative, comprehensive and reliable compendium of information about snakes covers both the common and the uncommon when it comes to snakes. Author Paulette Cooper provides an invaluable overview of the snake, fascinating facts, intriguing tid-bits, and "slithery stories" the covers everything from getting snakes in the mood for love, what to do if you are bitten by a snake, the health problems of snakes, and what to know about dangerous snakes before it's too late! 277 Secrets Your Snake Wants You To Know is fun, informative, and highly recommended reading for anyone considering their own vivarium, researching the serpent, traveling the rainforests, or just visiting the zoo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, but knew what to expect
I did totally love this book, and had trouble putting it down. That being said - this is not a care guide, and is basically just a book of "fun facts". Read more

While the format is cute, and it contains some interesting (but questionable) anecdotes, I feel that the author should have enlisted someone in the herp field to help her write... Read more

This was an informative book on raising boas. Maybe the author tried too hard to make it enjoyable by using silly jokes after almost every paragraph. Read more
