Must Have - 5 Stars Book January 31, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased this book in my research for information before purchasing my first snake with my grandson. This book is a MUST for anyone looking for information on care, feeding, housing, breeding and anything else about corn snakes. After reading this book I purchased our first corn snake from the author. It answered just about all of my questions and the author helped me with everything else so I was really prepared when our snake arrived. Interesting book even if you don't own a snake!
Best Corn Snake Book In Print January 4, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is, quite simply, the best book on corn snakes in print. I'm astonished that Amazon seems not to have it in stock (as of Jan. 06). Don't be deceived by the series title (Professional Breeders)--this is a book that all corn snake owners (or prospective owners) should have, including those who have no interest in breeding methods (although the breeding section does a better job of describing the various morphs to prospective buyers than any other corn snake book I've seen). The author--Don Soderberg, one of the most prominent breeders in the field--walks the prospective owner through the process of preparing for and buying a corn snake in great detail--I can't think of anything that has been missed here. Every contingency (including illness and escape) has been covered, and even experienced owners will find this volume to be useful. A good example is the author's discussion of vivarium temperatures. Most corn snake books (and online resources) simply say there should be an 85* warm side and a 75* cool side. But rarely do these sources say where the temperature reading should be taken--and when they do, they often provide contradictory, or illogical advice. This volume not only provides a detailed explanation for how to establish temperatures in your vivarium, it also provides a strong argument for why such a method is best. After spending six months reading everything I could find on corn snake care before purchasing my first snake, I have found this book to be more useful than anything else I have looked at.
