    Recommended Reading

    Anyone have any herp-related books to recommend? I used to check out a ton of books from the library as a youth but haven't done any serious reading on the subject in ages.

    Looking for subjects including but not limited to:
    - Species specific care (I like to read about stuff even if I don't keep it, but of course BP related books would be great)
    - Anatomy/physiology
    - Behavior/psychology
    - Taxonomy
    - Evolution
    - Regional guides and references (Snakes of the Southeastern US, Amphibians of South America, etc)

    Anything good you guys would suggest?

    - Summer

    0.1 Bearded Dragon ("Reka")
    0.1 California Kingsnake ("Cleo")
    0.1 Cinnamon Spider Het. Albino Ball Python ("Syd")
    1.0 Hypo Bredl’s Python (“Oz”)

    Re: Recommended Reading

    A couple books in my library that were very helpful and good resources.

    - The Complete Boa Constrictor: A Comprehensive Guide to the Care, Breeding, and Geographic Races by Vin Russo

    - The Complete Carpet Python, A Comprehensive Guide to the Natural History, Care, and Breeding of the 'Morelia spilota' Complex by Nick Mutton and Justin Julander

    If you're looking to purchase them I would suggest directly contacting the author as they don't see any profit from Amazon sales.

    Happy reading!!!
