Author Description

The Complete Reticulated Python: A Comprehensive Guide to the Natural History, Captive Care, and Breeding of the World's Largest Snake is certainly the most comprehensive book ever published on these fascinating snakes. It is a deep dive into the world's largest snake, both in nature and in captivity. Chapters include taxonomy, phylogeny, locality archives, information on island dwarfism, dwarf and super dwarf forms, and the true giants of the snake world. A history of the species in captivity, enclosure design, captive care, nutrition, breeding, and a Morph Gallery are included along with what is likely the most detailed information ever published on heating and lighting for captive reptiles. A thoughtful capstone project for author, Glen McClellan, led to the creation of this beautiful 446 page full-color hardback treatise that will, no doubt, be a welcome addition to the libraries of snake enthusiasts everywhere.
