Summary

"The boomslang snake is cute and colorful, especially the young snakes! However, all boomslangs are deadly. Just one tiny bite from this rear-fanged snake is enough to kill even a large adult. The boomslangs venom contains hemotoxin, which causes extreme bleeding. Readers get the chance to study these fascinating creatures up close, from egg to adult. Includes a range map and a chart of the deadliest snakes on the planet"--
