Bibliography for the Genus Drymarchon
Compiled by John Gunn, March 31, 2002
Acknowledgement: This compilation is based largely on the efforts of anonymous biologists for the US Fish & Wildlife Service and Florida Freshwater Fish & Wildlife Department.
It is hoped that this will be an ever evolving document that is readily available so as to provide researchers, naturalists, & other guardian aficionados, a beginning from which to develop a greater understanding of one of the great colubrids we are lucky enough to share our world with!
In addition to the traditional literature, there are an ever-growing number of websites dealing specifically with Drymarchon including;

Survey radiographs, an upper gastrointestinal tract study, and an ultrasonic evaluation indicated an intracoelomic mass with probable gastrointestinal involvement.
