Books you recommend...

I read a few BP books years ago, but since getting back into keeping snakes I have relied on the world wide interweb for my snake info. So I've been looking at some books to read to learn more about the snakes I keep and a thread I saw today made me think to post...

Any books you guys suggest? I'm looking at books specific to BPs, Kings and hognose as well as just books about snakes in general.
Thanks in advance.

The complete ball python by Kevin McCurley, Ball Pythons by Colette Sutherland ( a complete guide to Python regius).

The Garter Snakes Ecology and Evolution by Rossman , Ford and Seigel.

Im not sure about books but I have been realizing lately that the web especially Instagram and FB is a horrible source for information. People are regurgitators and a lot of it is incorrect and/or nonsense. Everyone is a breeder and expert yet still ask what's the best substrate. I am amazed that so many purport to be what they aren't. I think returning to books and research is the only way.

Yeah, I take most of what I read online with a grain of salt. There are people and sources that I have found to be reliable, but I always cross reference info before believing it to be truth or fact.
