Good Book or Website on Colubrid Snakes??

vakejairam Oct 12, 2003 09:55 PM

Hi,

I'm new to colubrid snake and I would like to learn more. In the past I 've focused more on retics and boas.

I'm looking for a good website or book that covers milksnakes, kingsnakes, and corns. Hopefully, which would include their wide arry of morphs. I checked out Amazon and it seems a lot of their books are not available.

Please let me know if you can recommend something...

Thanks,

Vake J.

not sure about general "all colubrid" books, but for cornsnakes you really can't beat the Corn Snake Manual by bill and kathy Love!
www.corn-utopia.com

and I believe SMR has some other colubrids www.cornsnakes.net

Both of those websites have pics of a bunch of different morphs of corns. it's a rainbow!!

I would recommend the Corn Snake manual from the Loves. Also, Keeping and Breeding Snakes. You'll have to go to a book store for that last one but it is a good book. It covers more than just colubrids but there is good amount of information on colubrids.
Don't waste your time and $$ with any of the Barrons books.
Just my opinion.
