Richard Shine is a legend. His book changed the way i saw snakes. I was already keeping snakes and lizards, but when i got his book i learnt so much more about them. Excellent info thats written for the layman. I got this book in 1993 and when i turned to the page with the pic of diamonds hatching, i couldnt believe the werent black with yellow dots! Amazing! This book is a "must have" along with John Weigels " Care of Australian reptiles in captivity"

Dr Shine has also written a species management report for NSW NPWS entitled " The biology and management of the diamond python and carpet python in NSW". Once you've read this you'll know everything about diamonds and carpets, PROMISE!! Its 50 pages of jam-packed info. I got my copy several years ago from Mike Swan Herp Books. I also have several of his scientific papers on diamonds.
