Reptiles & Amphibians For Dummies® |
| Patricia Bartlett |
| Plain-English guidance on choosing and caring for a reptile or amphibian Reptiles and amphibians are America’s fastest-growing pet category, up twelve percent over last year, and the export and sale of reptiles is currently a $2 billion-a-year industry. Now, at last, there’s a For Dummies guide that helps people select from among the bewildering number of reptile and amphibian pets now available–snakes, lizards, geckos, turtles, tortoises, frogs, toads, salamanders, and alligators, among others. Written by a husband-and-wife team of reptile and amphibian experts, this authoritative book describes the most popular species, explains what to expect from each as a pet, and discusses how to evaluate an animal before purchasing or adopting. The authors then offer detailed, practical guidance on all aspects of care, including transporting, caging, socializing, feeding, health care, and more.
Patricia Bartlett and R. D. Bartlett (Gainesville, FL) have written more than 35 books on reptiles and amphibians, including Lizard Care from A-to-Z, Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care, and The Iguana Handbook. Patricia contributes regularly to Reptile and Amphibian Hobbyist and R. D. has published more than 500 articles on reptiles and amphibians.
