Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Hognose Snake, or Heterodon nasicus as it is formally known, is a harmless snake native to North America. The name of these snakes comes from the way their snouts are turned up. Tan, gray, and reddish-brown Western Hognose Snakes are common, and they typically have dark spots or patterns. Their bodies are usually keeled and their scales are flattened. Adults of this species of snake typically measure between 14 and 24 inches (35 and 61 cm) in length. Grasslands, deserts, and scrublands are common habitats for these snakes because they are ground dwellers. When threatened, Western Hognose Snakes are recognized for their distinctive bluffing, hissing, and "playing dead" actions. They pose no threat to human safety since they prefer to avoid conflict rather than act aggressively. Toads, frogs, tiny reptiles, and even rodents are common fare for Western Hognose Snakes, which are opportunistic feeders. They have rear fangs and weak venom, which is mostly utilized to immobilize their victim. Due to their small size and unique characteristics, these snakes are a common choice for pet ownership. Prospective owners, however, should do their homework, since these creatures have very particular food and environmental requirements. There are several more species of Hognose snakes in North America besides the Western Hognose Snake, and each has its own set of distinguishing features and habits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone can look at a snake and see a creature unique unto itself, a reptile with a set of zoological and biological traits that are entirely its own. Just looking at this distinct animal raises many scientific questions. With regard to evolution, how did such an animal come to be? How does a snake move, and how do its sense organs differ from that of other reptiles? How does it eat, and how does it reproduce? Essentially, how does a snake "work"? In How Snakes Work: The Structure, Function and Behavior of the World's Snakes, leading zoologist Harvey B. Lillywhite has written the definitive scientific guide to the functional biology of snakes. Written for both herpetologists and a more general audience with an interest in the field, How Snakes Work features nearly two hundred color images of various species of snakes, used to provide visual examples of biological features explained in the text. Chapter topics include the evolutionary history of the snake, feeding, locomotion, the structure and function of skin, circulation and respiration, sense organs, sound production, temperature and thermoregulation, and reproduction. Containing all the latest research and advances in our biological knowledge of the snake, How Snakes Work is an indispensable asset to professional zoologists and enthusiasts alike.
Download or read book The Art Of Keeping Snakes written by Philippe De Vosjoli and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 233 pages. 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 American Snakes written by Sean P. Graham and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 125 million years ago on the floodplains of North America, a burrowing lizard started down the long evolutionary path of shedding its limbs. The 60-plus species of snakes found in Sean P. Graham's American Snakes have this ancestral journey to thank for their ubiquity, diversity, and beauty. Although many people fear them, snakes are as much a part of America's rich natural heritage as redwoods, bald eagles, and grizzly bears. Neither a typical field guide nor an exhaustive reference, American Snakes is instead a fascinating study of the suborder Serpentes. Brimming with intriguing and unusual stories- of hognose snakes that roll over and play dead, blindsnakes with tiny vestigial lungs, rainbow-hued dipsadines, and wave-surfing sea-snakes- the text is interspersed with scores of gorgeous full-color images of snakes, from the scary to the sublime.
