This review is from: Complete Ball Python, A Comprehensive Guide to Care, Breeding, and Genetic Mutations (Hardcover)
Even though some of the newer morphs aren't mentioned in here. It's still a must have for anyone getting into ball pythons.

This review is from: The Complete Ball Python: A Comprehensive Guide to Care, Breeding and Genetic Mutations (Hardcover)
This book is great for the absolute beginner, and no matter what is still an excellent addition to any collection. Every "ball python person" I knew sang the praises of this book, and told me it was the equivocal "ball python bible". I pined and pined after this book for months until I finally purchased it.
I sat down and promptly read it from cover to cover. I was, a bit disappointed, actually. While it did have great information, this book is very much targeted towards beginners. It does not even touch on some issues for those of us who have been in the hobby a very long time. Then the last bit of the book is all pictures and descriptions of morphs. I won't say I didn't enjoy it, because I did. I won't say it's useless, because it's not. I have it up on one of my racks in my reptile room, and thumb through it periodically. It is handy o have to show visitors what I'm talking about, or to loan to first-time ball python people in my life. I suppose after reading the book, I just got a big sense of "Well... I already knew THAT..." Maybe it's just a case of having too much buildup. I was expecting "the only book I will ever need". And this is, not everything I was told it was. Very handy, very informative, but not quintessentially necessary, or "the only book you'll ever need about ball pythons." I do hope they'll come out with "The more complete ball python" as they did for chondros. I'll certainly buy it, and perhaps it will fill the gaps of this one. One can only hope. :) So, overall, I could take or leave this book. Not happy having spent $50 on it, though. Should have waited until the price went down on it. ~.~

This review is from: The Complete Ball Python: A Comprehensive Guide to Care, Breeding and Genetic Mutations (Hardcover)
I had purchased several smaller paperback books on ball pythons and found them to not contain very much in the way of helpful information.This book covers all that you need to know to own,raise,breed,and provide proper care for ball pythons.
