Ball Pythons in Captivity

The ball python is arguably the most popular constrictor available in captivity today, and its an exhilarating time to be involved in keeping these snakes. Stunning new color and pattern morphs are introduced every year, along with more husbandry resources than a keeper can shake a snake at.

Kevin McCurley, owner of New England Reptile Distributors (NERD) and a devoted python breeder, presents two decades of his expertise in keeping and breeding these wonderful pet snakes. On the cutting edge of new ball python mutations, McCurleys Killer Bees, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, Spiders, and others exhibit a myriad of color and pattern that captivate beginning hobbyists and advanced professional snake breeders alike.

Ball Pythons in Captivity presents McCurleys experience on every aspect of these beautiful snakes, thoroughly detailing their caging, feeding, health issues, breeding, egg incubation, and much more. This book takes the reader on a journey through the lives and behavior of ball pythons and presents in striking color some of the most incredible, eye-popping genetic morphs that have been developed by python breeders across the planet.
