Book excerpt: The word snake itself, creates fear in people’s mind. Many renowned snake lovers & Herpetologists have written number of good informative books on snakes & related issues to spread awareness about these beautiful species; this book is also a similar attempt. It gives me immense pleasure to present you this book, which is good mixture of my own experiences & few important referrals from these books. The prime intent of this book is to eradicate all myths, among masses regarding snakes. But I have also added some information on how to identify snake, precautions to avoid snake bite, first aid after snake bite and very importantly, I have mentioned few references which can be referred for detailed information on the snakes. These references are as below. As far as translation from Marathi to English, typing, proof reading, editing, printing of this book is concerned, I have received great help from my wife Vaishali. This book is for free of cost circulation. Soft copy should be preferred instead of Printed hard copy.
