Our recent publication The Venomous Snakes and their Mimics of Panama and Costa Rica is a field guide geared towards local residents, students, and tourists and also will be helpful to any researcher visiting this area who needs to know if the snake they have found is dangerous or not. The list price for the book is $39.99 but RIGHT NOW Amazon.com has temporarily dropped their list price to around $22.00!! This drop probably won't last for long, so if you would like a copy, now is the time to order one. All proceeds go to snake conservation, research, and education in Panama through Team Snake Panama (http://www.lamica.org/teamsnakepanama.html). Printed books are available through Amazon.com US, UK, and Europe and Kindle versions ($9.99) are available in several Amazon markets around the world. Note that if you order a printed copy you can then get the Kindle version for just $2.99 in the US. Visit http://www.lamica.org/tsp_pubs.html to find the right market for you.
