The Captive Care of House Snakes by Erik Paterson

While popular species like corn snakes and ball pythons have endless libraries dedicated to their care, other equally rewarding groups of snakes are often left out of the spotlight. The Captive Care of House Snakes by Erik Paterson is an innovative and pioneering guide that brings much-needed attention to the fascinating genus Boaedon.

Written by a dedicated enthusiast, this book breaks new ground by providing the first comprehensive, book-format resource dedicated entirely to identifying, maintaining, and breeding house snakes. Fully illustrated with vibrant color photography, it serves as an invaluable, specialized roadmap for keepers looking to expand their expertise beyond the mainstream pet trade.
