That does look a good book (good because it's on the recommended reading page)

We've only got the first one on the list but that's good too. See:

I'm not daft enough to surround myself with shandies permanently.

I think the two books in the reccomended readings arn't the best in my opinion, I have every Kingsnake and Milksnake book available as far as I'm aware. This is my list. Starting with the most reccomended;

Book Title Author/s & Publisher

Kingsnake and Milksnakes - A complete Pet Owner's Manual Markel and Barlett - BARRON'S

Kingsnakes & Milksnakes In Captivity Robert Applegate - PROFESSIONAL BREEDERS SERIES

Kingsnake & Milk Snakes J. E. Smith - T.F.H

Milksnakes and Tricolored Kingsnakes R.D & Patrcia Barlett - BARRONS

King & Milk Snakes Adam Black - T.F.H

Kingsnakes - Care & Breeding in Captivity Ronald G. Markel - T.F.H

Gray-Banded Kingsnakes - Identification, Care And Breeding Jerry G. Walls - T.F.H

Hope this helps.

Scott

I might add a few of those if I get around to it later - milksnake books are harder to come by I've noticed.

I have the book first mentioned and:

The General Care and Maintenance of Milk Snakes by Robert Applegate from the Herpetocultural Library Published by Advanced Vivarium Systems. It's a yankee book but very useful nevertheless :)
