A few recommendations on books

terryd Feb 09, 2005 12:36 PM

I'm thinking about getting into ETB or ATB. But I need more info, kingsnak.com is great for information, but would like a few good books to refer to. None of the quick pet store type stuff please, something w/ a little weight, by this I mean, with alot of info and photos. I'm not afraid to read. Or spend a little money on a book.

Thanks for any help.

The second edition of "The Green Tree Python and Emerald Tree Boa" book by Kivit & Wiseman is due out this spring. It was originally published in German but also has an english edition. The first printing was quite limited and sold out quickly. Hopefully this second edition will have a larger printing. The book covers both species natural history and captive care and breeding quite well. It's about the only book with good emerald information available.

The new edition has 174 pages, 259 pictures and 28 charts and drawings. It's a little larger than the original edition also. I am taking advanced orders now. Please call or email me if your interested. Take care.
