Audubon herp book is complete rubbish
I fricken love field guides and my favorite Herp guide is Peterson's Eastern and Central North America or Peterson's Western North America depending on your location, assuming you live in North America.
I would recommend Snakes by Harry W Greene. A professor of mine gave it to me when I graduated. It is a beautiful book and has a ton of great information. Link to Amazon It only comes in paperback but it is a great book. If they are into going out and looking for herps I would recommend a field guide. Depending on where you are in the US there is a field guide, one for the Eastern and Central US and one for the Western US. The scientific names are outdated but the range maps and photos are still handy for learning about all of the herps in your area. Hope this helps!
