4 comments about Giant Lizards.

1. The pictures are great and some of the info on wild lizards is good, but dont try to use the info in this book to raise a monitor, it is outdated 20+ year old recycled info. For a good book on natural history get King a Greens book or Harold DeIsle book. Get Daniel Bennets new book for captive husbandry on grassland monitors.
   I dont think many of the authors monitors lived very long on some of his books advice and I know they didnt reproduce using that info. Dont get me wrong he has good intentions but some bad advice. Research many other books to reference any captive husbandry info contained. There are some good drawings,and some other good advice contained in it.



2. This book is an excellent overview of the "giant" lizards and touches on their biology and husbandry. It is packed full of beautiful photographs, and all the main families are covered: the Varanidae, Helodermatidae, Teiidae, Agamidae, Scincidae, and Iguanidae. I am always amazed by the variability in skin patterns exhibited by lizards, espeically in the Varanus tristis orientalis. You can feel the author's fascination with these marvels of the animal kingdom and he also gives a brief discussion on their vetinary care. I would have hoped he would have had more to say on the "black spot" problem in green iguanas but does not mention it.

   Lizard lovers and all those interested in the keeping them as pets will enjoy the book, as well as those who intend to make herpetology their chosen profession.




3. Giant Lizards provides excellent, easy to understand information for those interested in Monitors, Agamids, Iguinids etc. It's a must have for any serious collector or researcher.



4. This book is considered a land mark book by reptile breeders and hobbists. The primary focus is monitor lizards, but it does a complete over view of all giant lizards (3 feet or larger). This his all of the info one needs to properly care for a lizard.

4 comments about Guppies Today.

1. I bought this as a Christmas gift. My sister thought it had useful, practical information as well as very nice illustrations.



2. High quality book, filled w/ thick glossy beautiful pictures as well as a lot of information on keeping and breeding guppies. Well worth your money in the end!



3. I found this book to be most helpful in learning about the how and what to do for the proper care of guppies. It explains things in easy to understand terms. I have found that I constantly refer back to this book when I have questions.



4. Though the information is on a novice or intermediate level, the pictures reflect the highest level of beautiful photography of some of the finest guppies I have seen.

   I was not disappointed! Definitely a keeper!

1 comments about Basic Care of Rough Green Snakes (The Herpetocultural Library) (General Care and Maintenance of Series).

1. If you have even the most basic herp knowledge, this book will disappoint you. This book does not do justice to the rough green snake and reads like a report submitted by a second grader. Don't waste your money!

2 comments about Newts Their Care in Captivity.

1. This book was great, but some of the things I needed to know about newts weren't in it.



2. This book was very easy to read and had a ton of helpful and practical tips. It takes you through housing, feeding, breeding and also helps to identify some common newts. For such a short book there is a great deal of usable information. I was especially pleased with all the color photos.

1 comments about Red-Eyed Tree Frogs and Leaf Frogs (Reptile Keepers Guide).

1. First of all it is a very short book about 40 pages, paper-back, and most of it is covered with pictures, also the book size is about 5"x6"; it's more like a brochure. That's fine if you want pictures, but it leaves little room for information. I certainly didn't expect to have the first half of the book giving pictures and descriptions of all of these different tree frogs, I bought it for the Red-eyes.
   
   The second half of the book (20 pages) gives little information. It doesn't even show cage setups.
   
   My advice, save your money and do a search on the internet, you will get more information.
