Herp Book Review: Honduran Milksnakes: A Collective History of Honduran Milksnakes for the Hobbyist

-

Honduran Milksnakes: A collective history or Honduran Milksnakes For The Hobbyist by Doug Mong and James Tintle is a great book full of information pertaining to everything possible about Honduran milksnakes. 

It gives you the basic information such as standard husbandry and what to look for when picking a milksnake.  One of my favorite characteristics of this book is that if it is covering a topic, it goes in depth into that subject.  Another cool thing the authors did with this book is color code the chapters. 

Each chapter has a different color on the outside edge of the page so you know which chapter you are currently in or which one you are looking for.  Visually this book is very appealing.  It is colorful and is full of high-quality pictures. As far as information, just about half of this book is on breeding, genetics, and the different mutations and lines that are found in Honduran milks.

 As I stated before, they go in depth into genetics and Punnett squares so after you read that portion of the book you feel confident in your ability to understand basic genetics.  They also cover some of the lines that have been established in the hobby with the history behind that specific line. 

So, if you are interested in Honduran milksnakes at all, this book is a must have for your snake library.  The information in this book is invaluable.  Doug Mong and James Tintle definitely out did themselves when they put this book together.
