Kingsnakes and Milksnakes
The kingsnakes and milksnakes of the Lampropeltis genus have been among the most popular snakes in terrariums for many years. Their manageable body size, bright colors and comparatively uncomplicated husbandry requirements make most species of non-venomous snakes suitable for beginners in the terrarium hobby. In the past decade, new studies have led to extensive changes in the taxonomic systematics of the king snakes. This book summarizes the currently valid taxonomy of the entire genus Lampropeltis for the first time and thus pursues the approach of promoting the hitherto reluctant acceptance of the use of the valid nomenclature. The author has kept various species of kingsnakes and milksnakes for around 30 years and provides an insight into his husbandry and breeding methods.
Multiple Stressor Effects in Relation to Declining Amphibian Populations
For well over a decade, scientists have been trying to pinpoint the environmental cause for declining populations of amphibians in many habitats across the globe. Here, scientists and resource management professionals from a range of disciplines discuss standardized amphibian toxicity tests and meth
Amphibians and Reptiles of Wisconsin
Amphibians and reptiles represent an essential and interesting component of Wisconsin's wildlife. Eighteen species of amphibian and thirty-six species of reptile occupy landscapes across the state. They live in aquatic habitats that range from small streams to large lakes, and from open prairies to mature forests on land. These species are vital members of the biological communities in which they occur, acting as important predators, prey, and competitors, while also providing a wide variety of additional ecological functions. However, many amphibians and reptiles have experienced drastic population declines and even local extinctions in Wisconsin due to habitat loss and degradation, overhar...
Königsnattern
Die Königsnattern der Gattung Lampropeltis gehören seit vielen Jahren zu den beliebtesten Schlangen in der Terrarienhaltung. Ihre überschaubare Körpergröße, ihre leuchtenden Farben sowie die vergleichsweise unkomplizierten Haltungsansprüche machen die meisten Arten der ungiftigen Nattern zu geeigneten Schlangen auch für Einsteiger in der Terraristik. Im zurückliegenden Jahrzehnt hat es durch neue Untersuchungen weitreichende Änderungen in der taxonomischen Systematik der Königsnattern gegeben. Dieses Buch fasst erstmals die aktuell gültige Taxonomie der gesamten Gattung Lampropeltis übersichtlich zusammen und verfolgt damit den Ansatz, die bislang zurückhaltende Akzeptanz für die Verwendung der gültigen Nomenklatur zu fördern. Der Autor hat über rund 30 Jahre verschiedene Arten Königsnattern gehalten und gibt Einblick in seine Haltungs- und Zuchtmethoden.
