Question by : are there any good reptile books about these snakes and lizards?
are there any good books about these species of herps that you guys know of “Boa Constrictors, Emerald Tree Boas, Green Tree Pythons, Green Iguanas, Monitor Lizards, and Tegus”, i’ve been real interested in these species of snakes and lizards as of lately and i’ve been doing tons and tons of research “Believe Me!” and a lot of reading and the only good books i’ve read so far we’re “Good Snakekeeping” by: Philip Persur, “Monitors, Tegus, and Related Lizards” by: Richard & Patrica Barlett, “The Green Tree Python and Emerald Tree Boa: Care, Breeding, and Natural History” by: Ron Kivit, Stephen Wiseman, & Andreas Kirschner, “Barron’s Keeping Snakes: A Practical Guide to Caring for Unusual Pets” by: David Manning, “Red-Tailed Boas and Other Boa Constrictors” by: Glen Drewnowshi, “Snakes: Giant and Non-Venomous Snakes in the Terrarium: Everything about Purchase, Care, Nutrition, and Diseases” by: Fritz W. Kohler, “Reptiles, Amphibians, and Invertebrates: An Identification and Care Guide” by: Patrica Barlett, “The Exotic Pet Survival Manual” by: David Alterton, and “Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care” by: Richard & Patrica Barlett, but do you guys know any other good books for those species I had listed or care sheets or if anything lol, if so…..please let me know and yes I do know that some of those species can be very expensive and hard to care for but i’m all in for it.
