4.0 out of 5 stars
A concise guide to the care of Pythons.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pythons (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is a good book for the beginning python owner and a good source of general information from choosing, housing, breeding, and caring for pythons. It also has a section describing the care and characteristics of different species. One great section actually illustrates rather than decribes the sexing of pythons, which is impressive for a book this size. I have herp books in my collection costing 15x as much that do not illustrate this process. For the cost, a very good book.

Good if you haven't yet chosen a python,
By Tyler (Malibu, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pythons (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Helps in choosing a species, but offers little care advice relating to the care of specific species. Still, I consider this a must-have for its basic information on sexing snakes, helping them shed, and ensuring a proper feeding schedule.
