Good book for everyone!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arachnomania: The General Care and Maintenance of Tarantulas and Scorpions (General Care and Maintenance of... Series) (Paperback)
This is probably the best book I have come across on tarantulas and scorpions. It is easy to read and understand, with lots of information that is useful for both beginners and experienced hands alike. Philippe De Vosjoli has a knack for making his book interesting with his style of writing. This book is definitely worth its price!

Useful Arachnomaniac Book,

This review is from: Arachnomania: The General Care and Maintenance of Tarantulas and Scorpions (General Care and Maintenance of... Series) (Paperback)
This short (80 pgs) book is exactly what the subtitle says "The general care and maintenance of tarantulas & scorpions." Although there are no color photos the black and white photos are okay but more importantly is the information the author places between the pics. The table of contents is as follows: Part One: Tarantulas: introduction, general information, selecting tarantulas, housing and maintenance, maintenance, feeding, molting, handling, breeding, raising captive bred tarantulas, notes on popular species, diseases and disorders; Part Two: Scorpions: general information, housing and maintenance, feeding, handling, breeding, notes on popular species, scorpions: source materials. A nice feature is that under the general information of the tarantulas and scorpions sections he explains sexing. Filled with good ideas and suggestions this book will be treasured by anyone beginning with these fascinating animals. Doubtless, if you are a serious hobbyist of tarantulas and/or scorpions you should own this book.
