    Ball Python information
    I am wondering if there are any really good books about Ball Pythons, snakes, or even just reptiles in general? The care information is great online but it seems harder to find more in depth information. For instance am wondering how many teeth a ball python has but I got answers that range from 30-150!

    If you have any good book recommendations please post.

    Kevin from NERD has a book out that is supposed to be good. I do not know the name of it off the top of my head.

    x2 I wanted this book for awhile and finally bought it. It is worth EVERY penny. Ive read it front to back probably 5 times already. If you plan on breeding eventually you should buy this book. (thats one of the main reasons i wanted it). Kevins chapter on breeding walks you through everything step by step. I had gotten the gist of it by reading tons of posts on here but the info was scattered and difficult to put in order. Kevins book cleared up all the confusion for me. Sorry for the story here lol^

    I am not sure about breeding but I love reading about things not too much fiction. I have only had our BP for four weeks. I don't necessarily plan on getting another However I have an addictive personality so that may lead to a small collection and that will lead to breeding. I keep saying Gella my female pastel is a gateway drug.

    Mike there is no need to apologize lol my posts are usually huge. :O

    Well, that's going on the 'to-get-when-I-have-more-money' list ahaha. Almost just choked on my food when I saw how much that was.

    Its about $45 used on Amazon. Its called "the complete ball python". Kevin is working on an updated book seeing as how the original is quite old now (I also own it and have read it many times :D). Can't wait to get that one also.
