Rupert Wilkey grew up in Kenya, but it was when his family moved to Malawi in 1975 that his passion for reptiles and amphibians started. He caught his first snake at twelve years old and since then he has been studying them for over forty years. Rupert has collected, catalogued and released over 5,000 specimens in Malawi during a thirteen year period.
He has gone on to write numerous books, including Snakes of Malawi; which is the most comprehensive work on Malawi’s snake species since 1962. Other works include Venomous Snakes of Malawi and Snakes of Bulgaria. He co-wrote the snake section in The Reptiles of Malawi in 2019.
Snakes of Spain is his sixteenth publication.
