name of books for breeding boas???

[dvs]

nevermind.... I found some.

I'm can't remember the name of it for the life of me I'll have to look at it when I get home but I think it's called captive husbandry & propgation of boids. It's a hard cover book with a blue cover and ringered pythons hatching on it. It is by far the best book on breeding boids IMO.

Hey thanks... what about the boa manual? any good?

[dvs]

No one's read the boa manual before???

That other book is way too expensive..... $116 bucks USED!!!!

The boa manual is ok. It'll give you a head start, but its over 13 years old and new techniques and stuff are around.

Get the issue of Reptiles with "Confessions of a Boaphile" by Jeff Ronne. It has all you need. Cut the pages out, laminate them, and voila, you have your "book".

THE REPRODUCTIVE HUSBANDRY OF PYTHONS AND BOAS
by richard a ross and gerald marzec.
the best book i have ever seen. i call it the boa and python bible.
anything you need to know is in there. it is kinda hard to find
because the book is now out of print. you can probably find it on
beanfarm.com , it will be around $50.00 if i remember correctly, but is well worth it!

[dvs]

yeah they have it over at beanfarm.com for 55 bucks.... that's a little better then the $116 they were trying to charge at amazon.com

Thanks.

I have The Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas byRoss and Marzec. It's a very good starter book, though I found that it seemed that they rushed to get it to print.some of the data and info was a little incomplete but generly a very good book to get you in the right direction.
Also remember that lots of people do lots of different things to get thier animals to breed.There is no one right way for a lot of herps, if one thing dosent work try another
