Reptiles are among the more exotic pets - and owning them can be a very fascinating and rewarding experience. Each book in the Reptile and Amphibian Keeper's Guides provides basic information on reptiles and specific instructions on care. Each book begins with a description of the subject animal's natural history, distribution, life expectancy, and notable characteristics. The information that follows focuses on selecting a good specimen, determining the sex, providing proper caging, nutritious feeding, health care, and steps owners need to take if they plan to breed.
