Snakes of the United States and Canada: Natural History and Care in Captivity Book

John is a small and exotic animal veterinarian in Florida; Roxanne handles the day-to-day care of over 150 snakes representing more than 80 species included in the book. They combine their previous volumes designed primarily to educate herpoculturists about the maintenance and breeding of North American snakes, by discussing the general care of captive snakes. They also expand their efforts by setting out the natural history of each species, including geographic range, preferred habitat, known prey, known and potential predators, thermal preferences, mating seasons, incubation and gestation periods, clutch sizes, and some aspects of behavior. Superb color photographs are provided for each species. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
