I have recently started the Arcadia collection by John Courtney-Smith. I also recently finished Understanding Reptile Parasites by Klingenberg. There are some more on my list that I am waiting to get, but I was wondering if any of you had some favorites! Thanks in advance!
 
Look at all the books by Ludwig Trutnau. His best one in my opinion is a book called venomous snakes: snakes in the terrarium, but unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to find

Thank you so much! I'll see what I can find if his. I've been keeping hots and looking into adding another one to my family soon so if I get lucky to find a copy of that one it'll be great timing!
 
If I ever get up enough ambition to go through the headache, I will likely sell off my entire herp book collection sometime. I am doubtful I will ever need all of them ever again, as very unlikely I will ever open one up to read ever again. Actually, just the thought of having to pack up and ship out packages maybe containing only one or two of them at a time just makes my head want to explode. But maybe someday I will get bored enough to do it. Heck, I guess I could attend a large herp show, if any of them still exist, to sell them that way, but lord, what a hassle that would be. Especially if I wound up bringing most of them back home with me, being unsold.

Idk how many books you have but if you're interested in selling the whole lot let me know! I've started to enjoy collecting them. Feel free to pm me a price and how many books.
 
That's incredible! My collection looks wimpy now 😅 I love seeing how the information evolves over time, plus these resources have so much more information than a lot of the 'internet reptile experts' out there
