I have an amazing one, "Exotic animal medicine for the Veterinary Technician" by Bonnie Ballard and Ryan Cheek. Got it from Amazon, it's incredibly in-depth, and includes a lot of good info on husbandry too. American, natch.

Batter than the old BSAVA one for sure

Simon Girling 'Veterinary Nursing Of Exotic Species I have this book also. I find it very good and usefull in practice. I got mine on ebay for less than half price on an auction not buy now but look at the prices as some want to charge over £50 for the book. Hope this helps Tracy xXx

I am certificated in City in Guilds vet nursing of exotic species and have used the Simon Girling 'Veterinary Nursing Of Exotic Species' since I was a student VN its easy to understand and has most of the things you'll ever need. The other one I use is the BSAVA one, but it is quite involved.

These are all books I have found useful both keeping and working with exotics. The BSAVA manuals are a bit hard going if you are just starting out. A lot of exotic veterinary care is husbandry so I would start with the pet care books, but nursing wise there are some good ones available. The Veterinary Nursing of Exotics is great, and the BSAVA are about to bring out a Manual of Exotic Veterinary Nursing so keep an eye out for that.

I've got this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/277-2689869-0626636?a=1405107472 Quite a good reference book. Not that in depth though. The bsava book of exotics is also very good but expensive.
