Publisher's Synopsis
This volume covers the care and breeding of the snakes of western North America. Like Volume 1 (ISBN 0-89464-590-0), which covered the eastern area, it contains a chapter on every species, with information on environment, preferred foods and feeding tricks, and the problems unique to each. Also included are chapters on the most popular pet species of North America, such as the two boas, six king snakes 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 advice on feeding. The book also contains a section of references for every species discussed, and is illustrated with over 100 colour photographs and quick reference boxes on every species.
