Download or read book Milksnakes written by Bryan Engler and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An elite member of the kingsnake family, the milksnake is found exclusively in the Americas and has one of the largest ranges of all snakes. Milksnakes by Bryan Engler and Jerry Walls is devoted to this most diverse of snakes, whose color variations in the pet world exceed those found in nature, illustrating how wildly popular milksnakes are with hobbyists. Thanks to milksnakes’ hardiness, ease of breeding and feeding, and generally friendly nature, these attractive snakes have few disadvantages for keepers. They’re modestly sized (maxing out at 3 or 4 feet), and their many colorful patterns are undeniably eye-catching, as captured in the photographs of this book. This Advanced Vivarium Systems title includes information about selecting and purchasing a healthy milksnake, housing and maintenance needs, feeding, handling, and health care. A separate chapter on diseases and disorders provides a complete primer on the health needs and veterinary care. The authors discuss fifteen superb milksnakes in the chapter “The Most Popular Milksnakes,” from the black milksnake to the Utah milksnake, offering descriptions and color photographs of each. The chapter “Almost Milksnakes,” covering six similar kingsnakes, and a fascinating chapter about milksnake hybrids will both prove of great interest to lovers of these friendly snakes. Resources and index included.

Download or read book Emily Green and Me written by Kathryn White and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of illness, eleven-year-old Emily receives the heart of a seventeen-year-old boy who has died in a motor-bike accident. But the organ comes with an attachment:the boy who had it first is still hanging around. From'up there' he watches as she recovers - sometimes exasperated, other times with heart-warming tenderness. Their worlds couldn't be more different. Emily is from upper-middle-class Cape Town and the boy was from poorer plot-dwelling folk living near Johannesburg. While Emily struggles with becoming a teenager, the boy's interjections are a laugh a minute - not even death can dampen his streetwise spirit. Following the closely-linked fates of these two endearing characters, Emily Green and Me is the poignant story of one life interrupted and one that is just unfolding. A book for all of us who blink at the twin stars of life and death, and all that lies between.

Download or read book RSPB British Naturefinder written by Marianne Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A species-by-species guide that shows you how to find and watch nearly 300 mammal, reptile, amphibian and invertebrate species in the UK. Most wildlife books are designed to help you identify the animals you have seen. This book is different. In this new, user-friendly guide one British species is highlighted per page, and each account explains in accessible text how to find it, where to find it and how to ensure you have the most rewarding wildlife-watching experiences. Within the 'How to Find' section, author Marianne Taylor explains the best time to look for each species, its preferred habitat, and offers tips to help make your search easier or more productive. In 'Watching Tips' she advises on how to get the most from your encounter, how to observe the species at length and with luck witness its most fascinating behaviour. A colour panel indicates each species' geographical distribution on a map, including 'Super Sites' where the species is particularly abundant or regular. A calendar shows when each species is present or active in the UK to help you plan your visits to nature reserves. Colour photos serve as a reminder of each species' key identification features. In total, RSPB British Naturefinder features nearly 300 species, and it includes all British mammals, reptiles and amphibians, along with a carefully chosen selection of other British animals of interest, such as butterflies, moths, dragonflies, spiders and fishes.
