If you're getting a ball python, you need this book
This book is an excellent reference for someone who's getting their first ball python. It has information on selection, feeding, general care and husbandry, troubleshooting, and a lot of information on color morphs and the associated genetics. I enjoyed the book a lot, and learned a few things from it (even though I've been keeping and occasionally breeding snakes since the early '90's). No ball python owner should be without this book.Actually, all the books in this series and by this author are excellent. If you find a book on your animal by Philippe De Vosjoli, you absolutely can't go wrong dropping the coin to get it. Highly recommended.

Talked us right out of a python
A bit too technical sometimes for the 9yo it was intended for. But by educating us on python care it convinced us not to get one, so that's worth extra stars in my book.

Typos and conflicting information
Firstly, the book has quite a few typos and basic grammatical errors. Second, quite a few of the recommendations are going against a lot of other resources I’d found in my searches online and other readings. The author didn’t address any of the other thoughts out there, particularly about husbandry, to debunk, question or provide insight into why this book recommended the things it did., thus it left me with more questions than answers. Therefore I didn’t feel I could trust the information enough. Hence, it wasn’t so helpful for me.

Very good Info
Here is my rating of the Ball Python Manual by Philippe De Vosjoli and Roger Klingenberg.Pros:-Made by professionals-Very colorful pictures-Covers every topicCons:-Barely has stuff about captivity raised Ball Pythons(^^See that, not that many cons!)Summary:This Ball python manual is very accurate and has lots of good info. This book should go to a beginner because it has good details and tips. I've seen other Ball Python books, but this focuses on more imported Pythons than on captivity.overall, i will give this book 5 stars. this book also came a day early!
