Ball python books?
« on: January 09, 2009, 03:39:10 PM »
For newer or even more experienced keepers what books would you recomend? Thought this would be a good idea to see what every1 thinks would be good and interesting read!! And also so everyone knows what a worthwhile and not worth while books to purchase would be

Two that I would recomend:
Pythons of the world 2 by Dave and Tracey Barker - VPI
The Complete Ball Python by Kevin McCurley - NERD

Lol, it's cool.  It's just an easier way for people to get there faster instead of having to do it themselves.  Not everyone is as computer savvy as us or should I say computer reliant!!!

I got the complete ball python book by kevin mcurley about a month ago and it is AWESOME! i can not put it down. For ppl who plan on breeding and are still confused on genetics then this is def the book for you. It also helps with what morphs make what for those who are looking to produce that one perticular morph. This book has lots of color photos to go along with great litature. I recomend this book to anyone who plans to breed morphs, for those who just keep a bp or two as pets i would recomend getting a book on just care and health only because the complete ball python book is a little pricey (55$) for those who dont plan on breeding.

I have both books.
I find it hard to read the Barkers. Probably because I am getting old. I think it would of been better with a bold print. (or large print for us old ppl..lol)

I do find myself going back to Kevin's book.
I do like it better.

Just my two cents here.
