Problem Snake Management: The Habu and Brown Treesnake edited by Gordon H. Rodda, et al.
Intensive
research on and management of poisonous snakes has centered on Japan,
home of the Habu, and Guam, where Brown Treesnakes have killed off many
native species. This book draws on that research to present
comprehensive guidelines for snake management, offering a wealth of
information on their biology and behavior previously unavailable in
English.
The authors address a wide range of problems associated
with snakes, from bites to wildlife endangerment. They cover basic
biology and ecology; management techniques such as detection, capture,
and habitat modification; use of predators, parasites, and toxicants;
and methods of isolating snakes with electrical, chemical, or habitat
barriers. All management recommendations are based on the latest
ecological, behavioral, and sensory information. The importance of
natural history in formulating management programs for snakes is
emphasized.
