I found this book entertaining, and somewhat useful. It's full of fun little facts, but a lot of common sense information. As far as being helpful, it would be so only for a novice. This is obviously not a how to book on keeping snakes, but provides some tips and tricks on their care. For detailed care of snakes, I fully recommend anything published by Advanced Vivarium Systems.

This book was unbelievably interesting. I only expected to just look at it quickly but found myself looking at every page, and finding something that was like "wow' on every one of them. There were a lot of short articles on many subjects and they were written in a fun and light manner and were really easy to read. Some of it made me laugh, and I learned a lot about snakes in general, for example, their mating habits, and about dangerous snakes, (lots of great stuff on that) and rattlesnake facts and all kinds of things I've never seen in other books. The author seems to have gotten lots of tips for owners from snake owner newsgroups or mailing lists of people who owned snakes because I found a lot of very practical stuff on how to keep snakes, and what to do about mites, and how to handle neighbors who hate snakes, and feeding snakes and terrariums and traveling outside with a snake all from people who had snakes. If the author wrote another book on this subject I'd buy it in a second but for the time being, this is the best book I've ever seen on snakes. I will keep it always because I like snakes.

This was an informative book on raising boas. Maybe the author tried too hard to make it enjoyable by using silly jokes after almost every paragraph. I thought it to be somewhat amusing at first, but after several pages when I saw a pun or joke coming I tried my best to skip it. Still yet, I am happy to have read this book and would recommend it for novice herpoculturists.
Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in snakes. May 4, 2000
