Snakes of the United States and Canada - Volume 1 Eastern Area*

This reference covers the care and breeding of the snakes of eastern North America. There is a chapter on every species, with information on environment, preferred foods and feeding tricks, and the problems unique to each. A general care chapter includes a problem-shooting chart and discussion on first aid. The final section, entitled "Disasters", includes a series of short, and sometimes humorous, anecdotes meant to help herpetologists avoid possible disasters of their own. The book is illustrated with over 100 colour illustrations and quick reference boxes on each species.
