Our Publications
Extremely exciting news for us - we have had our latest book selected to be added to the Princeton Field Guide series.
Pictured is the USA only version of the forthcoming Field Guide to the Snakes of Australia being released in late September. At this time the Princeton Field Guide is set to be released in February 2025.
Previously, the only Australian herp book released this way was the first edition to the complete reptiles of Australia by Steve Wilson and Gerry Swan in 2003.
We just discovered that the third edition of Snakes of Australia should be released here by October this year. The third edition contains new images and more importantly the taxonomic changes that had been made since the second edition was released.
To get a signed copy go to the bookshop tab and pull down to either the snake tab or the John Beaufoy tab and you will find the order page there. As always, the first 100 books to leave our doors have a limited edition magnet accompanying them.
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped along the way - and also to everyone who has bought the book - there wouldn't be a third edition without your support - thank you ever so much.
Whilst on a working holiday in Germany for the release of Australasian Elapids, we were presented with a fantastic business prospect, and we jumped at the opportunity. We have teamed up with the team at Chimaira and are their Australian distributors. Tie thought expanding the range of books we already carried was the next natural step, so Tie started an online bookshop, focusing on terrarium animals such as reptiles, amphibians and spiders.

Owning the online bookshop has presented us with some incredible opportunities (and I don't just mean Scott's growing shelves!) We wanted to share with our customers the awe-inspiring people we have met along the way over the years and the knowledge they have accumulated in their chosen fields, and also chat with like-minded people we haven't had the opportunity to meet yet. The only way we could think of doing this was with a podcast. Called Cold-blooded Contributions, it is all about the amazing people in our field who have creatively made a positive impact on us all - be it artistically, authoring books or papers, podcasts or YouTube channels or advancing us in husbandry.
All podcasts will be also be available in blog form for those that aren't into podcasts or prefer to read content over listening to it. Please bear with me, this is a much bigger task than I anticipated, so it is taking a bit longer than I would like. To read the podcasts, jump over to our blog.
Scott and Tyese Eipper have had extensive experience with these challenging snakes — finding them, catching them, keeping them in captivity and breeding them. Add to this knowledge their outstanding photographic skills and we have here a comprehensive, authoritative, and beautifully illustrated volume that provides all the critical information needed for the successful maintenance.

Huge shout to Scott Eipper and Tie Eipper for these amazing books that were wrapped with love and several layers of packing. Would have to be the best wrapped books I've ever received and I highly recommend buying from them! - Peter Birch
This book is a benchmark for all forthcoming books, not only on venomous snakes, but snakes in general. The width and depth of information presented is unrivaled. The combination of first-hand knowledge on the ecology, result of long time studies in the nature, and keeping and breeding is outstanding.
