Default Good boa book!

This might have been asked before -

But what is a good boa book to buy?
Just got my Hogg Island and wondered if there were any good books out there for me to swat up on diff boa locales and morphs etc. Kind of like the boa version of The Complete Ball Python.

Best book by far is:
1) Complete Boa Constrictor: A Comprehensive Guide to the Care, Breeding, and Geographic Races by Vincent Russo

Especially if you want to know about different ranges and localities

Others worth buying are:
2) Boas (A Complete Pet Owner's Manual) by Doug Wagner
3) Boa Constrictor Manual (Advanced Vivarium Systems) by Philippe De Vosjoli
4) The Living Boas by Jerry G. Walls

And good books in general:
5) Pythons and Boas by Peter Stafford
6) Keeping and Breeding Snakes by Chris Mattison

It's fantastic, so much info, clearly written, so much so that I now understand about the taxonony (sorry if spelt wrong) and breeding
process etc, never could wrap my head round it all, but he makes it all so easy to understand.
