Book Description
Excerpt from Maintenance of Rattlesnakes in Captivity Beginning in November 1966, a multifaceted approach for the investigation of rattlesnakes (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus) and other pit vipers was initiated at the Dallas Zoo by using a combina tion of field and captive observations. Our observations concerning the ecology and natural history of wild rattlesnakes were utilized as a basis in order to successfully maintain captive Specimens. Further, many of the behavioral components found in rattlesnakes were not readily observable in the field but could be seen in captiv ity. As our studies continued, it became apparent that the continua tion of a captive colony of rattlesnakes, roughly numbering 50 taxa and 125 individuals, required Specialized techniques. To that end, we searched the literature dealing with reptilian husbandry, espe cially concerning rattlesnakes. In addition, we consulted with col leagues who had successfully maintained these Ophidians. Since reproductive and captive propagation was a consideration, we tried to develop a format with that objective in mind. The results of our studies are contained in this account and a companion volume which deals with the ecology and natural history of 45 taxa of Mexican rattlesnakes. This present account is divided into two parts; the first covers successful husbandry techniques, and the second surveys organisms causing pathogenicity, recommenda tions for treatment and appropriate medical procedures. It is obvious that many of these techniques can be applied on a larger scale to the captive maintenance of a considerable number of reptile species besides rattlesnakes.

Pages : 102
Book Description
Excerpt from The Natural History of Mexican Rattlesnakes Beginning in November, 1966, studies on rattlesnakes (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus) and other pit Vipers were initiated at the Dallas Zoo which included techniques for maintenance and disease treatments, in conjunction with Observations on captive and wild populations. Maintenance techniques and disease treatments have been published in an earlier contribution. The results of our studies on the ecology and natural history of Mexican rattlesnakes are contained in the present account. Since numerous behavioral sequences were difficult to record in the field, many rattlesnakes were maintained in the laboratory. Over one hundred and twenty-five captive individuals, comprising over 50 taxa (including forms indigenous to the United States) were avail able for study. We have attempted to Show the value of a multifaceted ap proach to the study of a body of organisms by beginning with field Observations as a basis for understanding, followed by maintenance in the captive state whereupon specimens can be placed upon death in a systematic museum collection. This arrangement allows an investigator to examine various aspects of an animal's being by recording data which would be virtually impossible to record in the field. Further, this combined approach maximized our abili ties as one Of us is somewhat incompetent in the field and the other is an erratic animal keeper.
