I am a bit like you Africa, I like to get as much info as I can and mould it into the way I do things. There are great bits in the book like %diet of each snake and food source and I didn't even know that there was such a thing as Wormsnakes/blindsnakes! I have it by my bed and between it and Barkers Pythons of the world 1 they are getting a bit of a hammering!
Cheers Hawkeye

Reply to P.S. It's gotta be worth a try Perhaps a petition of all our members who want him here may help sway the man our way ? |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: sunshine coast QLD | | | yes we do spend a lot on books but they are also a good gift idea as not many people are willing to give snakes as pets the next best thing is a snake book i got 3 for christmas just gone |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Sydney | | | The Bartlett and Wagner you can get most anywhere, and it's not bad.
The Barker, I am eagerly awaiting. Best bet is to get it from the authors themselves in the states, as it is out of print.
..and yes, they do make great presents, I got the Geordi Torr book as a leaving gift when I resigned from my old work.
