book recommendation

laneante Sep 03, 2003 03:32 PM

Does anyone have a suggestion for an accessible but thorough book about lizards, re biology, behaviour, maintanance, etc? Either in general or al-specific.

I have the following:

Completely Illustrated Atlas of Reptiles and Amphibians for the Terrarium
by Fritz Jurgen Obst, Udo Jacob, T F H Publications, K. Richter (Contributor)

It's nice because it has almost everything (it even has a couple pages on alligator lizards) in it along with some basic care or habitat info although some of the information's a little outdated. It really came in handy for all those impulse buys I made when I was younger. The only problem is it's a bit pricey. New, it usually sells for around $100, but amazon.com has used ones starting at $45. It's still the best general herp book I've encountered and it's beautifully illustrated.

Hi Alice,

I just wanted to say a belated thanks for the book recommendation.
school just started again, so I have been very busy,and a bit remiss in email, but I have ordered the book you suggested.

thanks,
Laneante
