 A must have for ball python owners! June 20, 2008
I purchased this book sortly after getting my first ball python. Let me tell you, I would be lost without this book. It has everything you need to know and everything you want to know about being a great ball python owner.

It has been argued that there is free and more fresh information on the web.
Well, that's exactly true. But the point of this book is to provide the amateur with a handy, basic, simplified guide to homing this pet. The basics of these herps hasn't changed. This to-the-point reference with good color photos only costs a couple bucks-well worth it.
An essential guide for any future ball python owner. October 20, 2006

If you have your mind set on buying no other snake except the ball python, then this is your target. Philippe De Vosjoli goes over everything you need to know: origins, appropriate lighting and tanks, what you can do if you can no longer keep your ball python, pictures of different ball pythons (this includes regular, albino, etc), and most important of all, diseases of ball pythons. He even writes about the famous ball python that was known to live 47 years and some days (and even then, they still don't know how old the python is). Philippe also confirms that, yes, even large snakes can fit in surprisingly small tanks. I've had my ball python for 3 years and he still lives comfortably in a 20 gallon tank. But don't let my boring cliche review make you buy this book, just look through some pages at a store and decide for yourself. But regardless of that, I strongly recommend this book. Later.

There's nothing new for advanced keepers here, but for those starting out, it's a cheap way to get basic care information. And it's an albino BALL python on the cover, not a Burmese as stated by another reviewer.

You can find a lot better and more up to date info on the web. Not particularly useful or informative, though there's a few nice pics. Check out The Complete Ball Python by Kevin McCurley for a real ball python book.
