    Pythons of the World, Vol 2

    I'm looking for a new ball python book to join my Complete Ball python and I will be getting Designer Morphs, 2nd Edition once it comes out.(http://www.designermorphs.com/)
    I was thinking about getting Pythons of the World, Vol 2 (http://www.vpi.com/) but this hasen't been updated since 2006 and I just found out it won't be update anytime soon.
    Does anyone have this book that could review it? Do you think its worth getting even though its kinda out of date?
    Does it have anything The Complete Ball Python is missing?

    It was released one year after The Complete Ball Python. I have both and I consider them both Must Have's. You won't be disappointed - well worth every single penny. For the bulk of the book, there's not much that needs to be updated. The morph section is the only part that would need to be updated, but even then - it's pretty darned comprehensive.

    I consider The Complete Ball Python more geared to the casual herper or newer herper - Pythons of the World gets far more scientific and is for the more serious keeper (or will appeal to them more). Pythons of the World has a TON more information than The Complete Ball Python.

    I consider VPI's Ball Pythons of the world Volume II to be the best and complete guide for Ball Pythons!!! Def worth the $80. Any question you could ever wonder about is in this book. The morph guide is pretty awesome too!!!
