Favourite Books on Reptiles

This one is an ebook, but is valuable reading: "Turtle and Terrapin Care Guide"

"Australian Snakes : A Natural History"
by Dr Richard Shine, is one of the best books on snakes I've ever read.
Lots of anecdotes, and written in an easy to read manner.

"Pythons of the World, Volume I, Australia"
Another excellent book, by David G Barker & Tracy M Barker.
Quite hard to find, but try the authors' website - they may still have some.

"Pythons of Australia"   by Brian A Kend.     
Beautiful painting of a Black Headed Python on the cover.

"Care of Australian Reptiles in Captivity" 
by John Weigel is just about a classic now.    

Another classic is "Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia" 
by H G Cogger.    There are several editions of this one.

"Pythons of Australia : A Natural History"
by Geordie Torr goes into anatomy, physiology, etc.   Plenty of information in this one.

Steve Wilson & Gerry Swan have written 
"A Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia"

John & Roxanne Rossi's "What's Wrong with my Snake?" 
is an excellent guide to preventing disease in your herparium.    Every snake owner should have a copy of this one in their library.

 Graham Gow's "Snakes of Australia" 
is one I've had for years, in fact it was the first I ever bought.

For a basic beginners book, try "The Guide to Owning an Australian Python"
by John Coborn.     Has some great photos, and is an easy read.
