In 2012, while doing body work on a horse named Emilion, Sandra Mendelson received a series of messages from her equine client that dismantled her entire understanding of human versus non-human capabilities, perception and spiritual awareness and set her life on a course she could never have predicted.For nearly three years, she clung to her skepticism, accumulating "real world proof"- solving problems for humans by receiving solutions from their pets-before she could believe the insights she was receiving from the horses. The level of their wisdom was nothing short of what we've come to expect from the teachings of spiritual thought leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra and, posthumously, Wayne Dyer. Once she could finally embrace that, what the horses called "The Voice of All Life: Consciousness Itself" could be transmitted through a non-human, numerous species of the land, sea and air - both in body and in spirit -began to come through with incredible messages for humanity. In this first book of the We Walk Beside You series, the animals correct our misconceptions about their behavior, reveal the energetic focus, intention and meaning of their lives, and, mostly, offer their insights to help humans survive and thrive ¿with more love, joy, sense of purpose and understanding.You may never look at a non-human the same way again.

For those that choose to add a monitor lizard to their family, it is imperative to learn about the biology, natural history and habitats of these remarkable lizards.

Green Tree Pythons care, behavior, enclosures, feeding, health, myths and interaction all included.Green tree pythons are simply amazing animals. Wildly popular among snake enthusiasts, these beautiful animals are truly unique. Starring at one of these emerald green snakes transports the observer to a faraway and unfamiliar place, where these snakes have lived for millions of years - the rainforests of New Guinea and Australia. Green tree pythons have adapted to their rainforest habitat in a variety of fascinating and puzzling ways. They blend seamlessly with the green canopy as adults, yet they start life as bright yellow or red babies. They are incredibly athletic snakes, but they remain motionless while hunting. They are completely at ease in the trees, although the mothers venture to the ground to deposit their eggs. These nuanced adaptations that have allowed green tree pythons to survive in the wild, and they have made them popular among snake keepers as well. Unfortunately, it took several decades of effort to devise the basic husbandry protocol for green tree pythons; but, thanks to the work of countless zookeepers, breeders and hobbyists, green tree pythons are now relatively well understood and widely available to snake enthusiasts. While they are not an ideal species for first time snake keepers, those who have already kept a few pet snakes are likely to succeed with these beautiful serpents and be forever changed by them.About the authors:Marvin Murkett is an experienced writer and a true animal lover.
