    book question

    Boas in Captivity (Professional Breeders Series) by Vincent Russo

    Has anyone heard of this book or have this book? I can't find any reviews and I am wondering if it is a good investment or if someone could tell me what a really good book would be to get. Thanks

    I have never read that one, but The Complete Boa Constrictor by Vin is the best boa book out there.

    1.1 pastel (Snatch and Gypsy)
    1.0 pinstripe (Capone)

    Here's another vote for the complete boa constrictor by Vin Russo. I have that one and it's great.
