Description
The boomslang snake is bright and colorful, especially the young snakes! However, all boomslangs are deadly. Just one tiny bite from this rear-fanged snake can be enough to kill even a large adult. The boomslang's venom contains hemotoxin, which causes extreme bleeding. Symptoms can take hours to appear, which makes this creature even more deadly. Readers get the chance to study these fascinating creatures up close, from egg to adult. The book includes a range map and a chart of the deadliest snakes on the planet.
