What are the top 3 that focus on husbandry, not morphs?

Aside from NERDs book - which I have not gotten yet - I would say that it seems like it's been quite a while since a new ball python book has hit the shelves - most of them (that I can think of) are well over 5-10 years old and fairly outdated - and not really spectacular. Its been a while since I peaked at one, but I think the Ball Python Manual is probably the best one out there - can't wait to see what NERD has to offer (and what ever happened to VPIs book).

the Ball Python Breeding DVD by Doc Seward and the Sutherlands is what i would consider to be current "state of the art" as far as available husbandry material. i expect NERD's book, and the coming VPI Ball book are also excellent, but don't overlook the super valuable BallPython.com DVD, available on the KS classifieds, and also at our site.

It's been a while since I watched the video - but I don't think it covers much on basic husbandry but mostly focuses on breeding. I could be wrong tho.
