Melissa Kaplan has done relatively little for the reptile industry besides concluding that horrible husbandry techniques are horrible. She has never given out info for great husbandry techniques.

If everyone just did things 'by the book' the reptile industry would never have any forward progression. People need to experiment and open their eyes to knew things. Books are good for somethings. They have interesting pictures Seriously though, if you have no information from which to start, a book or website can help, but that should only be a base to start with, not gospel. You should always experiment with offering different temperature options, different humdity options, etc. Sure, it can be a risk, but it can mean the difference between your reptiles just barely living from day to day, and thriving.
