I just received more copies of:

McDiarmid, Roy W., Jonathan A. Campbell and T'Shaka A. Touré. 1999. Snake Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference. volume 1. Herpetologists League, Washington, DC, xii, 511 p. HB, This first volume covers 681 species distributed among 15 families, as follows: Scolecophidia: Leptotyphlopidae, Anomolepidae, and Typhlopidae; Alethinophidia: Anomochilidae, Uropeltidae, Cylindrophiidae, Aniliidae; Macrostomata: Xenopeltidae, Loxocemidae, Pythonidae, Boidae (Boinae, Erycinae), Bolyeriidae, Tropidophiidae; and Caenophidia: Acrochoridae, and Colubroidea Viperidae (Azemiopinae, Causinae, Crotalinae, Viperinae). The 266 generic names are organized into 80 generic accounts, and the 4288 species names into 681 species accounts. These totals are distributed among 21 recognized family groups for the 111 published names. Volume 2 will include most of the family Colubridae and volume three will complete the Colubridae, plus Atractaspidae and Elapidae. $90.00

In addition to this I have listed several books and separates, several that I have not listed before.

Please let me know if you would like anything from this list.

Townsend, Josiah H. and Larry David Wilson. 2008. The Amphibians and Reptiles of Cusuco National Park, Honduras. Los Anfibios y Reptiles del Parque Nacional Cusuco, Honduras. Bibliomania, Salt Lake City, xiv, 322 p. Not simply a field guide but a celebration of Cusuco and the remarkably diverse herpetofauna of this cloud forest reserve. Townsend and Wilson provide a fascinating account of an ecosystem where some 18% of amphibian and reptile species are endemic, but which is also highly vulnerable. Climate change, outbreaks of chytridiomycosis, and increasing pressure around its periphery from subsistence farming and urbanization are all beginning to have an impact in the area, at least one species having become extinct and numerous others believed to be in decline. A major objective of the book is to draw attention to the susceptibility of Cusuco and other Honduran cloud forests -- in herpetological terms among the most endemic-rich of all habitats in Middle America -- to human-induced degradation, and in this commendable endeavor we can only hope the authors succeed. To anyone with an interest in the conservation of Middle American biodiversity I can not recommend this book more strongly.
