A Passionate Journey with Short-tailed Pythons
Description :
A Passionate Journey with Short-tailed Pythons was written to help
educate herpetoculturists and hobbyists about the captive care of
the three commercially available short-tailed pythons: Blood Python
(Python brongersmai), Borneo Python (Python breitensteini) and

Sumatran Short-tailed Python (Python curtus). This is the first book
dedicated to this group of pythons with clear details on their captive
care including housing, feeding, health issues, breeding, and raising
of healthy young pythons. The fascinating color morphs and pattern
anomalies that occur are presented in text and beautiful photos
throughout the book. For new keepers, there is a helpful appendix
with free removable starter feedcards. Short-tailed pythons are
indigenous to Southeast Asia including Malaysia, Indonesia and the
island of Borneo. These stout bodied, often colorful snakes have
much myth and misinformation associated with them, which the
author works to dispel in this writing.Richard Crowley has been
keeping reptiles since he was a small boy. For over 20 years, he has
worked with zoos, state and federal authorities in various roles
including President of the Chicago Herpetological Society. His
dedication and fondness for short-tailed pythons has been his
passion for nearly 25 years. 50 full-color photographs. 139 pp.
