The Venomous Reptiles of Arizona by Lowe/Schwalbe/Johnson 1986 1st Print PB

Description: The Venomous Reptiles of Arizona by Charles H Lowe, Cecil R Schwalbe, Terry B Johnson 1989 1st Edition 3rd Printing Paperback Arizona is the home to many species of venomous creatures. The same tropical influences that make this state one of the most biologically diverse areas in the nation has given us one of the most diverse venomous faunas to be found in North America. Arizona is, with all probability, the venomous animal capitol of the United States. Most species of venomous animals use their venom primarily for subduing and killing prey. Therefore, a bite or sting from most of these animals represents more of a physical inconvenience than a medical emergency. Some species do have powerful venoms that may be life threatening. It is important to remember that many factors play a role in how severe a bite or sting will be. An individual's personal chemistry has a great bearing on how they will react to any foreign substance introduced into their body. The amount of venom, the location of the bite or sting, the species of animal, and even the geographical origin of the animals that have given the bite all may play a role in the severity of the bite. ~~ALWAYS accepting reasonable offers!
