This multiauthored book spans a range of topics relevant to those individuals interested in keeping, breeding, and understanding health problems of the green iguana (Iguana iguana). It offers a unique synthesis of the work and experiences of biologists, nutritionists, and veterinarians who have worked with green iguanas, both in the field and in captivity, and it presents the most current, and in some cases previously unreported, information on iguana biology and medicine. Topics include biology and reproduction in the wild, nutrition in the wild and in captivity, ontogeny of captive iguanas, husbandry, clinical evaluation, diseases, drug dosages and chemotherapeutics, anesthesia and surgery, and diagnostic imaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly technical, but very good, book,
By Otto (Silicon Valley) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biology, Husbandry, and Medicine of the Green Iguana (Hardcover)
This is for the advanced Iguana owner, or someone who wants to become advanced. Basically this book is a series of scientific studies collected in one book, along with information on diagnosing various Iguana diseases and injury. There are color plates showing how to operate on Iguanas for vets. Basically this is a vet textbook, but anyone with a slight background in anatomy, or a pocket medical dictionary, should be able to read this book easily and find it informative. If you want to feel a bit more empowered and be able to discuss Ig problems with your vet, this is a good book.
If not, buy Iguanas for Dummies and James Hatfields Green Iguana book. I have all 3 plus "Understanding Reptile Parasites" by Roger J. Klingenberg, which is unfortunately not available from Amazon.
