There are approximately 120 members of the chameleon family of lizards, and many are capable of dramatic color changes. Here is detailed advice on chameleon housing and care. Heavily illustrated with vivid color photos and instructive line art, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals show and inform pet owners regarding proper care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small caged animals--virtually every creature that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, feeding it nutritiously, keeping it in good health, and where applicable, grooming and training it. Each book in this large series is individually written by a specialist, and though the information is authoritative, the text is clear and straightforward, easy for every pet owner to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great source of valueable info unlike other "picturebooks",
By A Customer
This review is from: Chameleons (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book is great if you need basic information on a variety of different species. The section on setting up an incubation box is very helpful. Other books that are helpful in this manner are those written by Phillepe de Vosjoli. This books sexing techniques are helpful as well as the glossary of terms it provides and the illustrations of different physical characteristics of chameleons i.e crests and other such protrusions.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chameleons (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book was interesting for back time. I ordered about 6 years ago. There is not too much information about Chameleons, but I guess you learn about their attitude while you live with them.Still lots to learn. Will reccomend.
