Download or read book Snake Care written by John W Henderson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reptile lovers are increasingly drawn to the unusual and alluring experience of owning a snake as a pet. This chapter takes us on a trip to discover the variety of snake species that are appropriate for domestication as well as the appeal of having a snake as a friend. For millennia, snakes have captivated humans, and this curiosity has grown into a desire to coexist with these mysterious animals in our homes. With their sinuous elegance, beautiful patterns, and interesting habits, snakes provide a unique attraction that sets them apart from usual pets like cats or dogs. The chance to study and engage with a species that is quite different from the more traditional animals we usually welcome into our homes is frequently the allure of keeping a snake as a pet. Knowing the range of snake species that may be domesticated is crucial as we go further into the realm of snake ownership. There is a vast array of forms, sizes, colors, and temperaments among snakes. Every species of snake, from the comparatively calm Ball Python to the more gregarious Corn Snake, has unique traits and difficulties. An overview of common pet snake species is given in this chapter to assist prospective owners in making selections depending on their tastes and expertise level. We also look at the cultural and historical factors that have influenced people's perceptions of snakes as pets. Snakes have had symbolic meaning in many different cultures; they often stand for protection, change, or healing. Knowing these cultural backgrounds makes it easier to appreciate snakes as animals with significant symbolic meaning in human history, rather than merely exotic pets. The chapter also discusses the obligations that come with owning a snake. Snakes have certain demands that must be carefully considered, unlike ordinary pets. Prospective owners need to be ready to devote time, energy, and finances to establishing a setting that closely resembles the snake's native habitat. This entails supplying appropriate housing, controlling humidity and temperature, and making sure the animal is fed well. It's also critical to address prevalent myths and anxieties related to snakes. Many people have negative associations with snakes, such as danger and dread, which feed misconceptions about these amazing animals. In order to promote a more knowledgeable and optimistic perception of snakes as acceptable and fulfilling pets, Chapter 1 aims to debunk these fallacies.

Our aim, and mission, is to produce the best possible pet care books that are a great value for money. This care manual will instruct you on the best practices for caring for a Corn Snake as a pet. 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.

Download or read book Florida s Snakes written by Richard D. Bartlett and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Bartletts have synthesized and distilled the very latest natural history information regarding our native ophidiofauna, added a liberal sprinkling of their vast field experience, and supplied some of the very best photography. Once again, they are poised to influence a new generation of herpetologists and herpetoculturists."--Gregory C. Lepera, curator of herpetology, Jacksonville Zoological Gardens "This book belongs in the field pack, under the front seat of the car, or on a table near the door where it can be consulted quickly to identify the rapidly retreating snake on the road, canal bank, hiking trail, or backyard."--Richard Franz, Florida Museum of Natural History Because Florida's human population has increased so dramatically over the past three decades, residents are more likely than ever to encounter a snake or legless lizard. This book is designed to dispel some of the apprehension from these encounters by providing a comprehensive, illustrated guide to the 86 species and subspecies of snakes and legless lizards living within the state. Each reptile is illustrated with a color photograph accompanied by a range map detailing where it can be found. The descriptions of each animal provide specific details on appearance, size, behavior, and venomous qualities. Additional text addresses captive care, how to find snakes, legal issues, reproduction modes, prey and prey procurement, and an explanation of classification. Because of introduced species, there are actually more snake species living in the state today than when Florida was truly wild. The 2-to-6-foot snakes are most commonly encountered, such as the green snake, yellow rat snake, and diamond'backed rattlesnake, but Florida's ophidiofauna range in size from the earthworm'sized Brahminy blind snake (also called the flowerpot snake, after one of its favorite habitats) to the Burmese python, which reaches a length of 15 feet or more. Both are introduced species. This is the only field guide for Florida snakes that includes native along with introduced and established species and commonly seen but not yet established species. Its handy format and comprehensive coverage provide identification for species anywhere in Florida as well as in adjacent areas of neighboring states. R.D. Bartlett is the author of many books, including In Search of Reptiles and Amphibians and Popular Boas and Pythons, and has published more than 500 articles about herpetology in such magazines as Tropical Fish Hobbyist, Reptiles, and Reptile and Amphibian.
