Good books on breeding and incubation

[contos]

Hey all
Im looking for some books on breeding etc. I've been reading up on it online and I've got "Care of Australian Reptiles in Captivity" by John Weigel. Im looking for some others but as im going to try breed this season and I'd like to be as prepared as possible instead of annoying people on this site. Also does anyone know in detail how to breed and incubate jacky eggs?
Thanks

John's book is good but little bit outdated now. Mike Swan's Keeping & Breeding series are good, Jonno (on this site) should be able to help you.

G'day contos,

As Waterrat and Geckoman said (thanks guys!), you can buy all your reptile related books from our website - Herp Books

John's book is becoming a bit redundant. It has good, basic information, but there's a lot more products and knowledge around these days that aren't featured in his book.

Depending on what you are after, Mike Swans three books are probably the most relevant with regards to most Australian reptile species.

Cheers
