Anyone could recommand a good book on ETBs for me?

I am thinking of getting into them but want to do some research before doing so.

So if anyone has any good book for recommandation or even good web sites, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

There are two that come to mind:

"The Green Tree Python and Emerald Tree Boa"

"The Guide to owning Tree Boas and Tree Pythons"

There are various sites devoted to both with articles and caresheets. However I don't know of any books devoted specifically to ETBs.

Thanks guys~
Does anyone know where I can get those books that Craig mentioned?
I assume that Tony does since he has gotten both that Craig mentioned.....LOL~
Any help Tony?

I got the complete chondro, since I was thinking into getting GTPs before. I want more information on ETBs so that I can compare the two and see which one suites me better. So the more information, the happier I am....

Please bear with me.....I am a complete idiot with basically anyother snake other than colubrids (heck I think that I am only good, if I can even use this word, with corns........)

Thanks in advance!!

The first one is out of print, however Rico Walder(signal herptoculture) is expecting the second printing in a couple weeks. He is taking orders now.

When I checked on the second one, it is still available at most on-line book sellers.

Sorry I did not respond earlier, missed the thread.
Some I picked up at a Chapters Book Store, rest were off Amazon.com, the Complete Chondro - I ordered it off the authors site.

CraigC, you seem to be a world of knowledge on ETB's, ever thought of writting your own book? Your website is fantastic but nothing beats the glossy pages of a book.

LOL, I write enough manuals for the dive systems my company produces. With my Columbus method of typing, I shudder to think how long a book would take to write. Besides I'm still learning and don't have enough experience or knowlege for a book. Maybe in 10 or so years! LOL But thanks for the compliment.

Thanks for the info guys.
I'll get my butt going and start going to those sites that you two provided to get those books so that I can start reading up. I don't really plan on buying anything until Sept or Oct of this year anyways. So in a way I still have a couple of months to start reading up and learning about them before I decide on either getting a ETB or GTP~

So hard to decide.....

Once again thanks for all the great information provided!!!
