By MONA (Nunn, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kingsnakes and Milksnakes (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is a colorful book with big bright photos. The first chapter has anatomy drawings that show how a snake 'works'. Easy instructions on basic care- housing, feeding, breeding,illness. There's a couple pages on how to raise your own rodents. Also a section about species and subspecies where they are from, size, habitat, habits, and coloration.
