Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
I know there's a world of information on the internet, but in my mind, nothing beats good old-fashioned books. What are your book recommendations? Anything pertaining to pythons applies here - general care, species-specific information, natural history, etc.
The book I've found most helpful in general is Keeping and Breeding Snakes by Chris Mattison.
They have a good selection, including good prices on the AVS series.
Personally, I have the edition prior to the current one of the Ball Python Manual, and the current Boa Constrictor Manual, and both are pretty solid books. I have the TFH Keeping and Breeding Snakes, which has some decent info, but which seems a bit dated.
Next book I intend to get is The Reproductive Husbandry of Boas and Pythons, which I've heard good things about.
Ooh, I want that book too! I'm glad to hear it's good, I always worry about wasting 35 odd bucks on a sucky book.
I haven't really found any general husbandry books that stand out yet, although Snakes: The Evolution of Mystery in Nature is an excellent one on natural history. I also have one called the Encyclopedia of Snakes (has a hairy bush viper on the cover) that's really good.
