[spyderman]

I do it the cheap way. If I want to know something, I take a pad & a pen into the Library or our local book shop & just "Browse" Works for me & I can afford the next snake that way...Lol.

[snakemann87]

My 2 favourite books for snakes are:

[Colonel SB]

I have way too many herp related books to post pics of them all. I have about $1000 in books. There is nothing better then a good herp book.

[snakemann87]

LOL colonel THATS ATON!

[Lisa]

The Corn Snake Manual (The Herpetocultural Library)
The Ball Python Manual (The Herpetocultural Library)
Kingsnakes and Milksnakes (Barron's)
Burmese Pythons (John Corborn)
Keeping and Breeding Snakes (Chris Mattison)
The Biology, Husbandry and Health Care of Reptiles Volume I & II (Lowell Ackerman, DVM)

The last two were presents from me to katey, I still have to find her volume III as well.

[drewlowe]

All this talk of book made me go out and get 2 more today...

The Tarantula Keeper's Guide by Stanley and Marguerite Schultz

And a tree boa & Python book don't know who by cause the puter at the book store didn't get any info on the book, but it was only 8 bucks so why not add it to my slowly growing collection. I also seen 3 more i want to add.

[snakemann87]

LOL im sorry Drewlowe! LOL unless thats a good thing you spent money:)

[drewlowe]

Nah it's quite alright. I don't mind spending money if it involes my herps or arachnids. I can't wait for the other book to come in though it can take anywhere from 7 days to 6 weeks. Oh well the new reptiles magazine and my new tarantula book will keep me occupied. (hopefully)

[elevation24]

I have two of the books you've got pictured - the one called "The Snake - Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet" and the one called "Pythons". I think those two books cost me less than $6 total :eek: They were both on clearance. I also have The Ball Python Manual and another book on keeping Ball Pythons, I think it's called The Guide To Owning a Ball Python.

[snakemann87]

Cool both GREAT books!

[Mike177]

i got a TON of books, and if u count mags its like 50 or so lol. i am working on "the encyclopedia of snakes" i was reading it but i kinda put it down but i have picked it up again! but after that i am going to read a book about pit vipers maby "the bioligy of pit vipers or something like it" but that going to take FOREVER for my dislexic *** to finish! lol

[stevesemerko]

Okay lets see if I can remember what I have (they are all in boxes right now cause of my recent move...

Corn Snakes and Other Ratsnakes
Kingsnakes and Milksnakes
Keeping and Breeding Snakes (Chris Mattison)
Keeping and Breeding Amphibians (Chris Mattison)
Proper Care of Reptiles
Ball Python Manual
Geckos
Keeping Reptiles and Amphibians (I believe thats what it is called but it is another Mattison Book)

I think that is it.
