Common Kingsnakes by David Perlowin

This edition of Common Kingsnakes has been revised and expanded to cover several related species. The book is packed with beautiful new photographs showcasing interesting varieties of common species, such as the California kingsnake banana morph, and not-so-common species, such as the bright red Sinaloan milksnake. Common Kingsnakes is an expert-written guide on how to care for your kingsnake. This informative book includes essential topics such as housing, feeding, and breeding. Their beauty, ease of maintenance, and relative docility make kingsnakes one of the most recommended snake species for beginning hobbyists.
