I'll admit I'm not much of a reader, unless I'm really in to the subject...I read through Vin Russo's book in 3 nights at work, again the next week, and continue to reference it. I hope this reads just as well. I've become more interested in a carpet since hearing they aren't nippy their entire lifespan. I wasted my money and time reading The Boa Constrictor manual by deVosjoli, what a disaster that is.
Honestly I think it reads better all the way through.
There is more effort put into the wild snakes, their habitats and biology.
It's my favorite of all the snake books up to this point.
