Boas in Captivity (Professional Breeders Series) by Vin Russo

Boas in Captivity was written to help educate herpetoculturists and hobbyists about the natural history of Boa constrictor and also their captive care including housing, feeding, health issues, breeding, and raising of healthy young boas. The fascinating color morphs and pattern anomalies that occur are presented in text and beautiful photos in the Photo Gallery.

Boa constrictors are indigenous to Central America and South America. These complex snakes have the largest geographic range of any reptile on Earth, spanning two continents from the Sonoran Desert in Mexico to Argentina, South America comprising a geographic range of over 6 million square miles. Their habitats range from lowland desert oasis to mountainous rainforest.

Vin Russo has been keeping snakes since he was a small boy.
