Book excerpt: North American water snakes (Nerodia spp.) are an often-overlooked group of reptiles that make fascinating and rewarding pets. Although these snakes are often quite defensive, most hobbyists find that they are among the most interesting species to observe, thanks to the unusual behaviors they exhibit. But while they are relatively easy snakes to care for, keepers must still learn all they can about the biology, behavior and natural history of water snakes, to have a good chance at successful maintenance. Inside, you will find information about these subjects, as well as the basic techniques keepers use to keep their water snakes healthy and happy. The author, Ben Team, is an environmental educator and author with over 16 years of professional reptile-keeping experience. Ben currently maintains www.FootstepsInTheForest.com, where he shares information, narration and observations of the natural world.
