Hey there everyone! I am looking for a book I thought there used to be out called The Ultimate Guide to Captive Crocodilian Care. If I remember correctly it was supposed to go over pretty nearly everything that should be needed for the keeping of crocs including indivual species needs and breeding requirements. Am I just dreaming or does this book exist? If so, any idea where I can find it? I already checked Amazon and several other sites but nobody seems to have it in stock. Any help as always is greatly appreciated. Chris

Hi,

We have the book in stock. It is $14.95 plus postage. E-mail me if you can't find it elsewhere.

Thanks for the quick response. That price seems kind of low though for the book I had in mind. Does it have alot of insight to the hobby or is it a novice guide? Thanks again. Chris

It is over 100 pages, medium sized paperback. I'm not aware of anything larger on the subject of captive crocodilians. There is a smaller book from ECO, but it is very "shallow" IMHO. It certainly won't tell you *everything* you'll ever need to know, but, along with the crocodilian.com FAQ, it is a very good starting point.

Amamzon has it, been the way they do there books is a little different. We use marketplace over there.

You have to click on the New and used section to see them.

Or you can email me and I'll send you an autographed copy. We are continually updating the book due to fancy new technology. I strive to amke it an ever growing and comprehensive guide usable by both beginners and advanced keepers. Many ideas came from members of this same forum.

Sincerely,
CD

I tried writing to you to get more info on getting a copy of your book from you. I don't know if you did reply back I guess I don't where it is you sent the reply too. Anyways, if you could email me or just post a note here on how to contact you directly or how I can send you payment that would be fantastic. Thanks again,
Chris
