About the Book

Step inside the remarkable world of Lampropeltis-the kingsnakes-and discover a definitive, professional guide that blends scientific insight with hands-on husbandry expertise. The Kingsnake Keeper's Handbook is far more than a care manual; it is a complete educational journey from natural history to the cutting edge of modern herpetoculture. Beginning with the taxonomy, evolution, and ecological role of kingsnakes, this authoritative book explores how these striking, non-venomous reptiles have shaped and been shaped by the ecosystems of North and Central America. Readers will learn how kingsnakes function as both predator and prey, controlling rodent populations and even preying on venomous snakes, while also serving as vital links in complex food webs. Comprehensive chapters detail every aspect of responsible care-designing secure and enriching enclosures, maintaining precise temperature and humidity gradients with modern smart sensors, and developing safe handling and taming techniques that reduce stress for both snake and keeper. Feeding ecology, captive diet planning, and solutions to common health challenges are presented with professional clarity, ensuring keepers can provide optimal welfare at every stage of life. The handbook also guides readers through advanced breeding practices and genetics, including the latest insights into selective breeding and morph development, while never losing sight of ethical considerations. You will explore the legal landscape of reptile keeping, understand the implications of CITES regulations and state wildlife laws, and learn how to prevent illegal collection or accidental releases that can lead to invasive species problems. Equally important, the book highlights the growing partnership between private herpetoculturists and conservation science. From citizen science projects and herpetological societies to climate-change-aware conservation collaborations, it shows how dedicated keepers can contribute to safeguarding wild kingsnake populations and inspire the next generation of naturalists. Rich with cultural context-from Native American lore and frontier folklore to modern media and public education-The Kingsnake Keeper's Handbook celebrates not only the captivating beauty of these reptiles but also their enduring place in human imagination. Whether you are a seasoned herpetologist, an aspiring reptile enthusiast, or an educator seeking a comprehensive resource, this book provides the professional knowledge and forward-looking guidance to combine passion with responsible stewardship. It is an essential reference for anyone committed to the long-term care, conservation, and appreciation of kingsnakes in both captivity and the wild.
