That would be me.

I think that as a source, many would argue with you on that point. Not saying they aren't reputable, but I doubt you'd find many who would say that they are MORE reputable. Instead of being critical of a book you've never read, why don't you purchase it, read it, and THEN post your opinion on it? Call any of the most reputable and respected breeders and keepers of ball pythons and ask them what books they recommend with the most CURRENT and up to date information and you will be recommended both the Barkers book and Kevin McCurley's book The Complete Ball Python.
