    Books that should be on every breeder's bookshelf?

    I love to read, research, and learn about the animals in my care.

    Can anyone recommend some herp books they think every BP breeder ought to have in their home?

    Thank you!

    We have both the VPI and Kevin's book and I'd recommend them highly. Not only informative but just wonderful books to curl up with (the photography is amazing - put on a drool bib LOL).

    I haven't had a chance to see this one yet but I hear it's really nice.

    This one might be a little intensive, but it does have a lot of great information.

    I have Kevin's book, loved it! I ordered VPI's just before the Daytona get-together, so I hope that'll be here soon. Thanks for the recommendations.

    ROFLMAO

    The only ball book I own is Designer Morphs by John Berry and whatever that ball python book that came out in like 1980's - both of which were gifts. I like the morphs book but it's a bit outdated by now - I may have read the other way back when -- I'm sure it's pretty outdated by now as well.
