YOU need a scanner! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
There is one that I would immediately toss... The one by MK.
I have two of those, the Boa Constrictor Manual and Pythons and a couple that I don't see here.

I'd post a list of books, but im afraid that there isnt enough room.
Im up to 5 book cases full now.
My favorites though are:
Vertabrate ecology and systematics - a tribute to henry s fitch
Snakes- evolution of mystery in nature- harry greene
Snakes- ecology and behavior by collins and siegel
Monograph of colubrid snakes- genus elaphe/fitzinger- by Klaus Schultz
Also worth mentioning:
Snakes in question - smithsonian press
Snakes of papua-new guinea- mark oshea (of all people to write a good book)
Pythons of austrailia - Brian Kend
Reproductive husbandry of pythons and boas- ross and marzec
Kalediscopic tree boas- forget the authors
Biology of the pitvipers - read a few chapters the other day and dont remember the author even though I have the book for a few years.

Anyone interested in snakes (and those who arent) would find this book a good read.
A well rounded, spiritual outlook on the secret lives of snakes with plenty of scientific backing to make it 100% accurate (based on what is known today)
This is probably one of the finest books on the subject that I have ever read (and no joke, I have read 100's of reptile related books dating back to the early 1900's all the way to the present)
Check it out, its kind of expensive, but good books usually are.
This is no paperback put out by TFH (no comment) this is a REAL book on the subject written in a easy to read and entertaining way.
Snakes-evolution of mystery in nature.

Don, Morti and I have that big Reptiles picture book (the pic above the Gaboon is a long-nosed viper, btw [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ). Whatever you do, do NOT read the stats on those animals. Most of the information is very, very wrong. For example:
Morelia Boelini - average size 6-8 feet *snicker*
Boa Constrictor Occidentalis - average size nearly 3 feet *guffaw*
Please don't tell my 6 foot (and growing) MALE argentine that he is only supposed to be nearly 3 feet. It might give him a complex [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]
