Pythons

Like most herp care books currently on the market, this is a good once over the world look at the captive care and husbandry of pythons. Though a bit outdated in some areas, the beginning reptile enthusiast will find value in the husbandry information, while more experienced herpers will find the species guide a useful quick reference.

Helps in choosing a species, but offers little care advice relating to the care of specific species. Still, I consider this a must-have for its basic information on sexing snakes, helping them shed, and ensuring a proper feeding schedule.

Since I don't have a pet python yet and i don't want to have an accident so I bought this book in order to familiarize everything before buying one or two if possible.For me, this is the most comprehensive book about pythons on how to select, care, breed and medical nutrition and behavior on such lovable snakes.So, hobbyist or the like... buy this book first in order to be a more effective and good caretaker of your own python... =)

This is a good book for the beginning python owner and a good source of general information from choosing, housing, breeding, and caring for pythons. It also has a section describing the care and characteristics of different species. One great section actually illustrates rather than decribes the sexing of pythons, which is impressive for a book this size. I have herp books in my collection costing 15x as much that do not illustrate this process. For the cost, a very good book.
