Snake Breed Encyclopedia - Featuring a Wide Variety of Breeds and Varieties - Useful for Selecting Individuals Before Keeping - Nakai - Hozurei

Snakes enjoy enduring popularity among reptiles and amphibians. Reasons include their relative ease of keeping and the wide variety of breeds available. Representative species like corn snakes, California kingsnakes, and ball pythons offer high collectible value and are relatively easy to keep and breed. In recent years, diverse varieties of savannah boas and carpet pythons have also become available. Nearly all are bred in captivity, contributing to their popularity as easy-to-keep snakes. On the other hand, it is also known that even within the same species, appearance can differ depending on the region where they live (geographic populations), which delights enthusiasts.
This book introduces the diverse world of these snakes through over 200 photographs. Even within the same species, there is an astonishingly rich variety of colors and patterns, with breeds developed that bear almost no resemblance to the typical individual. The book is structured to allow comparison by including standard specimens alongside the diverse varieties derived from them. It begins with an overview of snakes as organisms (features, distribution, etc.), then explains species and subspecies, genetics, variation, varieties, and their types. The field guide section is organized by region: Japan, North and South America, Eurasia, Africa, and Australia.
