Must-Have Books for the Knowledgeable Herpers Bookshelf

[illbeyoursoldier]

This is a place where everyone should post the books they've experienced (or want) that they feel are a beneficial addition to the knowledgeable herper's library. Or course, the books suggested will only apply to certain people, depending on what you keep, but lets try to keep this list eclectic for everyone, so that people that are new to certain reptiles know what to look for to keep them educated.

So lizard people, post the books you think are important, snake people post the books you find to be must-have, and amphibian people share the books you feel are the most necessary, etc!!

Have fun!!
