Has anyone ready this book? I started it at a book store tonight while waiting for my GF. I'm the type of person that never reads, even for class, but anyone interested in herps or exotics for that matter would be interested. For anyone that has seen "lord of war" its like that only with the reptile trade. As it covers both sides; the smugglers and the federal agent out to get them. Its based on the wholesaler strictly reptiles in florida. Check it out...

that sounds crazy, illegal reptile export lol.
 
This book has good times written all over it.
4 reasons for me to buy this book;
-I love reptiles
-I live in Florida
-Lord of War was an Awesome movie
-I used to do a little smuggling myself.......grapes mostly.....

Done deal. I'm checking this baby out tomorrow.
 
Its an awesome book I read it cover to cover in one night. I know the main characters from the trade so it made it a lil more interesting.
