Best photo book on burmese pythons?

Does anybody know any good photography books or dvd's on burmese pythons and/or red tailed boa constrictors?

I'm looking for something with a range of stunning photos in it, not so much bothered about the content, per se.

(I bought Mark O' Shea's book "Boas and Pythons" and it has like 2 pictures of a burmese in the whole book... crap)

I've looked, mate. The thing is:

1) Google is somewhat helpful and Amazon gives you the "ratings" of books. But until you actually purchase it, you have no idea if it's going to be anything close to what you're looking for. Not to mention it takes about 1 month for anything to arrive to my place by post, even from the lower 48 states.

2) I live in backwoods Alaska, so we have no Borders or Barnes & Nobles etc to be able to check books out and see if they're any good. Infact, we are extremely lucky even to have a small library... but because there are no wild snakes in Alaska, this small library (which is more like the size of a bathroom) feels that it is pointless stocking any books on snakes... which is typical


So... having said that... I figured somebody must have a decent book on snakes and/or burmese pythons that they'd be able to recommend. If not, that's fine...

If you have a nook you can preview the book before you buy it

Any of the first three should work for you.
BARNES & NOBLE | Burmese Python


Just stay away from the forth book down. look at the cover and you'll see why i say that.
