So what is everyones take on the new Rainbow Boa book? Is it a must have?

Thanks,
Dan

I haven't gotten a chance to read the whole book yet but I was very disappointed in the morphs section. They had some of the common ones but there is a hole lot going on that was never mentions.

18.30 BRBs (as of 6-20-2012)
3.8 others

Interesting... I remember the author contacting me for pictures of the 'different' BRBs I had. However, he stopped returning my emails after a day or two, so he never got anything from my collection. Not sure why he disappeared, but perhaps he did that to others and that's why there is so much missing?

Or perhaps he only had some much time to put it together... who knows.

Ill have to disagree with both of you on this.
It was my understand that this was a book written about Rainbows Boas, and as the title says, their Natural History and Captive Husbandry.
This wasnt supposed to be a rainbow version of the ball pythons Designer Morphs book. And John Berry was only used to write the short morphs section.

As for what it contains, i can see all of the rainbow boa recessive morphs in there, except for 2 of them. Both of which, are extremely rare, and that i dont think many people at all know about.
And with the other morphs that we have, how many of these, have we actually proven out??? How many of them can you predict the results on? Thus why should they make the book?

i give credit the the writers for actually producing a proper book about the species that we keep
