The purpose of this study was to identify intestinal worm infections in reticulated pythons (Phyton reticulatus) in captivity. Some people recoil in fear at the very suggestion of these creatures, while others happily keep them as pets. By far, in Indonesia the identification of amphibian and reptile species in rivers using the e-DNA method has shown less accurate results.

A possible hybrid population between south-eastern Cameroon and north-western DRC is consistent with an increasing body of evidence suggesting the Ubangi River might represent a hybrid zone area. Ascarid worm eggs that are excreted along with the faeces of the geese can contaminate the cage, feed and drink. Coral snakes predict the geography and richness of ‘mimics’ in the Americas, but not in line with expectations. Finally, we obtained 1 species of tortoise whose natural distribution does not exist in Yogyakarta and even in Indonesia.

Science journalist Sally Adee breaks open the field of bioelectricity—the electric currents that run through our bodies and every living thing—its misunderstood history, and why new discoveries will lead to new ways around antibiotic resistance, cleared arteries, and new ways to combat cancer.Find out about snakes from all over the world in this best-selling visual guide, with information about snake evolution, habitats, reproductive behaviour, feeding, defence, and much more. The book contains photos of numerous rare snakes that I’ve never seen pictures of, and the photos are seldom worse than great. Unfortunately some of the entries were wrong (wrong photo/snake), and the descriptions were too short, leading to many being quite repetitive.

I have always been a true animal lover, and that means all animals, not just the fluffy and/or cuddly ones like kittens and puppies.

There are over 3,700 species of snake found on every continent except for Antarctica, ranging in size from Barbados' tiny threadsnake to Southeast Asia's massive reticulated python.As shown in Table 4, ophiophagous snakes rely on stereotypical defences worldwide, including hiding the head, diverting a strike to the tail, and a lack of aggressive display or aggressiveness. His life has revolved around snakes for more than five decades and is an advocate for snake conservation. Immediate deforestation and nationwide urbanisation following colonisation completely eliminated many species from throughout much of the country and restricted them to small, degraded forest patches. The detailed images allow readers to examine the intricate scale patterns and rainbow of colours as well as special features like a cobra's hood or a rattlesnake's rattle.

Noting an apparent correlation of coloration with specific defensive behaviours and ontogenetic colour changes, I review both and find that ophiophagous snakes are remarkable for using stereotypical defences and not being aggressive, while ontogenetic colour changes seem to affect red and bands in snakes disproportionately.
