Recommendations needed

[Mack86]

Hi all,

Interested in the best book to buy that focuses on Stimson's/children's python's specifically. I'm interested to learn more about their behaviours in the wild and also captivity along with husbandry tips etc.

Anyone found one that's good?

I know "A guide to Australian pythons in captivity" has been recommended here but was trying to find one more focused on Antaresia. If that's the best one though, then I shall get that.

Thanks all.

It is the same book recommended by both and I concur.

You will need to copy and paste it into you search engines' address bar.

Yes I did see it was the same book
Thanks for the link! Will check it out now.


Edit: Wow I found that really interesting about the huge increase in sightings of males specific to September when they were looking for mates. Thanks for sharing.
