Der Grüne Baumpython

The Green Tree Python is one of the most colorful and attractive giant snakes in the world. This monograph presents a synthesis of the author's decades of experience, exchanges with other knowledgeable tree python keepers, and a thorough evaluation of available literature in its fully revised edition. Additionally, internationally renowned herpetologists, particularly Prof. Dr. G. Köhler, as well as experienced reptile veterinarians, have contributed to its success. The chapter on the taxonomic classification of the Green Tree Python puts an end to all speculation regarding its systematics since its first description by Schlegel. Based on scientific findings, the Green Tree Python has been divided into two species and several subspecies, which are presented and described in detail in the book. The book also sets new standards and covers all aspects of the biology, care, and breeding of these fascinating snakes. All chapters are accompanied by relevant, informative images. The author's life work particularly focuses on valuable practical details, natural and species-appropriate housing, and guidelines that cover every area of care and breeding. A comprehensive chapter on possible diseases of the Green Tree Python rounds off the work. The author has been keeping and breeding the Green Tree Python in a terrarium for over 30 years.
