While the majority of snakes occurring in Malaysia are not equipped with venom and constitute no threat to humans, a number of species can cause mild to severe envenoming that may lead to permanent disability or even death. The range of snakes of medical significance in Malaysia encompasses the family of Colubridae, Elapidae, Pythonidae and Viperidae. This book highlights thirty-five land snake species of medical significance with photographs from various contributors. It is easy to use and should be viewed as a guide, especially for healthcare providers to identify and manage potential envenoming from snakebites in Malaysia. The purpose of this book is also to increase public awareness on venomous and potentially dangerous land snakes in Malaysia.
