Boas and Pythons of the World by Mark O'shea
Takes us on a tour of the world of boas, pythons, and basal snakes - from primitive blindsnakes to the mighty anaconda. In more than one hundred detailed species accounts, this title examines snakes as different as the cryptically patterned Madagascan Ground Boa and Australasia's beautiful Green Tree Python.
"These well-known species and their more obscure cousins are all magnificently illustrated with beautiful color photos, with short write-ups of their life histories, range, size, prey, and other natural historyThis excellent book is highly recommended."--Nancy Bent, Booklist "Arranged geographically, with a nice introduction regarding snake classifications, myths, and conservation, this book will either give you the willies or make you smile in delight."--Juneau Empire "Colour photographs and clear text make this an informative and visually appealing compendium of constrictor habits and habitats."--Globe and Mail
