Other editions of book Pythons and Boas

"Pythons and boas have long been among the most fascinating of snakes, and with continued encroachment upon their habitat they are now also among the most threatened. 'Pythons and Boas' provides an up-to-date look at the Boidae, with emphasis being placed on the boids as threatened animals whose futures lie with increased captive breeding by concerned hobbyists. Every genus is covered, from the largest pythons to the smallest wood snakes, with summaries of what is known of their natural history and care in captivity. A special chapter spotlights methods of breeding boas and pythons in captivity."
