This volume is a single reference on the care and breeding of all the snakes of the western United States and Canada and, like Volume 1, contains a chapter on every species and the problems unique to
each, with detailed information on environment, preferred foods and feeding tricks. Also included are chapters on the most popular pet species of North America, such as the two boas, six kingsnakes, and the rarer rat
snakes. The general care section has been expanded to include new drug charts, temperature charts, a deworming chart, and even more feeding tips and tricks. More heavily referenced than Volume 1, this book contains a
section of references for every species discussed. It is also attractively illustrated, containing 106 color photos and quick reference boxes on every species. No other book contains such a detailed discussion on the
care of all of our native snakes. Recommended for larger public libraries, academic libraries collecting in herpetology, snake hobbyists, and commercial interests. |
