well i cant vote because my option is not on there.

I have never read the book but i might just have to pick it up for the read.
Everything i have learnt i have learnt on the internet, and from fellow ball python keepers.

That's too funny I really do have it next to my bed, no kidding! That and The Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas.
Cheers,

PS
There are a couple of versions don't forget. Mine is the one from 95.

I've read it right through several times, and checked out specific chapters quite often. It's not beside my bed, but it's in the room somewhere...

In it's entirety, 50, maybe 60 times........Haven't picked it up in months though. I feel I learn plenty more with both watching and learning my snakes' behavior, and listening to those who are far more knowledgeable than I.

I've probably read it through (entirely) 10-15 times, but I am pretty sure the only time I sat down and read it all the way through in one sitting was the first time I read it.

I use it for reference quite often, too.

i'm just like het--i don't own it...i get my info from online caresheets, message forums, and i went to the library once when i was first thinking about buying a snake.

I have never read that book, although I do read the other book mentioned quite regularly (Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas)

one of mine sits right on my nightstand....beside my enclosure, the other one sits on my computer desk to use for quick reference. and belive me i needed it when i aquired mine ball from a pet store who assumed it was CB.... and I'm sure it wasn't, as my vet bills will attest to.

i quit counting. After about the sixth time I read it I found that I was picking it up just to browse at least once a day.
