Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For author Philippe de Vosjoli, "art is the actualization of a personal vision or message," and de Vosjoli's passion is snakes, which he believes are among the most beautiful animals on earth. Incorporating snakes into a naturalistic vivarium, the way lizards and amphibians usually are, adds a new element to snake keeping, elevating the hobby to a true art form. In The Art of Keeping Snakes, de Vosjoli pursues this concept and provides advice for snake keepers who wish to create beautiful displays for their snakes, putting the animals' welfare and quality of life above all else and simultaneously enhancing their own enjoyment in observing their beautiful snakes in naturalistic environments. Beautifully photographed, inspiring, and informative, The Art of Keeping Snakes is divided into two parts, the first "A New Way to Keep Snakes," discusses design planning, enclosures and background possibilities, substrates, landscaping, plants, heating/lighting, quarantine and introducing the snakes to the vivarium. This part also includes chapters on feeding, handling, health care, and general maintenance and husbandry. The second part, "Best Display Snakes," presents over thirty different snakes, including photographs, physical descriptions, and tips for selection, handling, vivarium design tips, feeding, and breeding. The snakes in this part are divided into chapters, categorized by pythons, boas, water and garter snakes, hognose snakes, rat snakes, kingsnakes and milksnakes, and others. Resources and index included.

Download or read book Corn Snake Care The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Corn Snakes as Pets written by Tabitha Jones and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corn snake (scientifically known as Pantherophis guttatus) is a species of nonvenomous rat snake that subdues its prey through constriction. The species gained the name 'corn snake' due to the fact that they regularly hunt around grain stores to catch mice and rats who are attracted by the harvest. However some people argue that the species is named after 'corn' due to the fact that the patterning on the snakes body somewhat resembles the kernels of variegated corn. This resemblance is furthered due to the fact that the species most common colour morph is a mixture of oranges and yellows. Unfortunately the corn snake resembles the venomous copperhead and is therefore often killed as a result of this. The corn snake is a North American species but can also be commonly found throughout the southeastern and more central states of the United States. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a corn snake's basic needs to help you provide your pet with the best quality care practices.
