Line 445:
Is there a reference for the claim that these snakes shiver while incubating their eggs? I've removed that bit (hopefully temporarily) because I can't find a source to back it up. The only mention of this behavior I've been able to find is for the Burmese python, the reticulated python, and Australian diamond python, whereas some other species like the African rock python don't shiver: in other words, not all pythons do it, and from what I can tell it only seems to be documented in Asian and Australian species so far. I'd like it to be true, but given how commonly these animals are bred in captivity, you'd think it would be better documented if it was.

== How-To Husbandry ==
I believe the general husbandry section has deviated away from functioning as an encyclopedia entry and is instead functioning as a tutorial, which is [[Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_manual,_guidebook,_textbook,_or_scientific_journal|generally not appropriate for Wikipedia.]]
For example, the featured article on the African Lion does not have a section on lion husbandry, because it is an encyclopedia article about a wild animal, not a husbandry guide. Even the article on the dog does not contain how-to husbandry information. I suggest it be deleted or at least pared down to more appropriately reflect an encyclopedic tone. Does anyone have thoughts or objections?
