Book excerpt: For years Albert Hazen Wright and Anna Allen Wright traveled extensively, attempting to observe every species of snake in its natural surroundings and collecting data and live specimens. Their exhaustive research resulted in a famous two-volume source book, first published in 1957. Abundantly and painstakingly illustrated by the authors, this personalized natural history organizes for ready reference a wealth of information on American and Canadian snakes. Jonathan A. Campbell, a leading expert on snakes, supplies an informative new foreword. Accounts of more than three hundred species and subspecies - accompanied by photographs, drawings, distribution maps, and keys - form the main part of the work. In the introductory section the Wrights cover names of snakes, range, size, longevity, distinctive characteristics, color, habitat, period of activity, breeding, ecdysis, food, venom and bite, enemies, and authorities. Generous excerpts from the authors' field journals give the reader a vivid feeling of some of the satisfactions and conclusions of their search. Albert Hazen Wright was Professor of Zoology, Emeritus, at Cornell University. Anna Allen Wright was a recognized authority on the ecology and natural history of amphibians and reptiles.

Book excerpt: This volume is a single reference on the care and breeding of all the snakes of the western United States and Canada and, like Volume 1, contains a chapter on every species and the problems unique to each, with detailed information on environment, preferred foods and feeding tricks. Also included are chapters on the most popular pet species of North America, such as the two boas, six kingsnakes, and the rare rat snakes. The general care section has been expanded to include new drug charts, temperature charts, a deworming chart, and even more feeding tips and tricks. More heavily referenced than Volume 1, this book contains a section of references for every species discussed. It is also attractively illustrated, containing 106 color photos and quick reference boxes on every species. No other book contains such a detailed discussion on the care of all of our native snakes. Recommended for larger public libraries, academic libraries collecting in herpetology, snake hobbyists, and commercial interests.
