Ball python books?
So I actually read books(Shocker to most people in my area as the generation of 99 seems to dislike the hobby), I recently got a book about crested gecko's as I am debating on getting a few or maybe just one(Give it a couple months for research and everything else from enclosures and what not to finding the right gecko.)
The wait is also because I am getting my current pythons T8's with hopefully some Pro RHP's installed.
Getting to what I am asking any help on reliable book sources of information on Ball Pythons? Preferably paperback Currently reading up on Robbie Hamper's "Crested Geckos In Captivity." Loving the laminated pages though.

I read a few years ago when I first got into the hobby. Unfortunately, I dont remember titles or authors.
I asked a similar question in a thread a while back.
I only got a few replies, but here is one:
"The complete ball python by Kevin McCurley, Ball Pythons by Colette Sutherland ( a complete guide to Python regius)." courtesy of our friend Albert Clark.
I've heard great things about Kevin McCurley's book (he's an innovative breeder and owns N.E.R.D.). He's a wealth of knowledge.
And huge props to you for reading BOOKS!!! I love books, and seeing them become "obsolete" is a sad side effect of technology. I don't mind doing research on the world wide interweb, but I just can't read a "book" on a kindle or anything. I just find it impossible to get lost in a story that way. Plus I like the smell of a book, and turning pages. In a world of over-stimulation, it would be nice to see people just drift away into a book for a while...

I guess some perks to not really having had the option for a library was I got used to kindle books. Cheap and easy to carry in class back in high school I used to get in trouble for reading too much on the kindle app lol. I remember one teacher was stumped as he told me "I have never had to tell a kid to stop reading in my class..."
I leave the purchasing of physical books to those chosen few that leave a mark or just end up on my eventual re-read list.
Thanks for the suggestions I will go ahead and try to pick these up.
