Boas and Pythons of the World

Mark O'shea knows his reptiles. He is one of the pioneers of herpetology and this is a handy book for lovers of constrictors large and small. It covers a wide range of locality-spefic species and sub-species. Great info, lots of color photos and very well written. A nice addition to anyone interrested in animals and specifically constrictors.

This book was informative, and had lovely photography. I recommend it to anyone who has a love for anything boa or python.

Great books! I use this book to train and identify wild escape snakes in the Everglades and during Search & Rescue operations!

It has very good information about Anacondas and Pythons, Mark Oshea is one of the best herpetologist in the world and has been in almost all the continents and he conducted a research on Anacondas in the Venezuelan Llanos.Edouard Paiva

It was a nice book with lots of pretty pictures.

Great quality and the book arrived much sooner than expected.

I liked this magazine because here in Brazil we have nothing on this literature, unfortunately.

Front cover was partially separated from the spine from inside

Ottimo volume di O'Shea che si concentra sui boidi, dando precise schede e ottimi spunti rispetto a tantissime specie nel mondo. Interessanti distinzioni tra sottospecie e approfondimenti su vari genus che ad oggi non si trovano ancora su internet.Ogni volta che si discorre di qualche specie insolita è bene cercare se in questo libro c'è qualche informazione in più.Datato ma assolutamente non obsoleto.

this is one fine book. it was a gift for another addicted snake keeper. a lot of knowledge between 2 covers and the pics are awesome.

Gostei muito do livro, muito bonito e o autor é referência mundial no assunto.

Inventaire exhaustif (sand boas, blindsnakes...) classé par continent. Très belle iconographie. Il n'y a plus qu'à approfondir sur internet si on a vraiment besoin de détails plus précis, mais l'ouvrage est déjà bien renseigné.
