Ball Python vet info.

[JamminJonah]

okay while I was surfing this afternoon in class, I was looking at Ball Python books. I already own the Ball Python Manual and another book by a Dr. somebody from Australia. Suddenly it hit me - I used to own sugar gliders (I rescued a few from homes that couldn't afford/didn't know how to care for them.) There was little to no info. back then online so I got a photo copied sheet out of my vets textbook.. does anyone know any good vetrinary medicine textbooks with good sections on Ball Pythons? I just think that it would be interesting to read what vets are taught about the species. (Plus maybe I could learn some more) also, what other books on BPs would you guys recommend?

PS. Oh yeah and if anyone wants to know anything about sugar gliders feel free to ask me.

Stupid question--------> What is a sugar glider?

[JamminJonah]

Australian marsupial flying squirrel esentially... they very small mammals that are capable of gliding when they stretch their arms and legs (like flying squirrels). they can go quite a distance - they're a growing interest as far as exotic pet ownership goes.

I don't know any, but I'll bet the members of the ARAV (www.arav.org) could steer you in the right direction or may even have some listed.
