I also have The Complete Ball Python by Kevin McCurley (The hardcover version). Both books are pretty good, but the complete ball python doesn't go into detailed anatomy or go into detail about sensory reception. Both books cover husbandry, breeding, and morphs.

Overall the Barker's book goes into a great deal of scientific detail (scale names with illustration, dissection pictures, microscope pictures).
Tim Bailey suggested to me that I wait for the VPI book that is coming out over the McCurley one. Is this the new one?
