::several books that I got 10 years ago but I am not sure where they are right now.
They won't do you any good, anyway. Most of them were written using older, even less accurate books as their basis in research. Many were written by people who never kept igs. Even more recently published books still use those outdatad books as references.
Between research in biology and advances in reptile veterinary medicine, the old books are pretty much just good for doorstops. The diet, health, behavior, etc., information is grossly outdated, that which wasn't inaccurate to begin with.
If vets aren't keeping up with advances themselves, such as by reading the Association of Reptilian & Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV) journals and conference proceedings, reading the latest reptile vet med books, then they will be as outdated as owners relying on old books. :(
Good luck!
