    Good reptile books?

    Has anyone got favorite reptile books to recommend?

    Right now, I am reading THe Snake Charmer, which is pretty interesting. Would love to read more and hear what others' favorites are.

    The Lizard King was a great read about reptile smuggling.

    VPI's Ball Python book is a great book and the Complete Ball Python by Kevin McCurley is also good.

    I have not yet read Th Lizard King, but it is on my list. I agree that the Barker's book, and Kevin McCurley's book are great (& extremely informative) readings. The Snake Charmer was also a good book.

    "the more complete chondro" by Greg Maxwell! Understanding Reptile Parasites by Roger Klingenberg, and "the lizard king" by Bryan Christy was good too!
