This book contains a great deal of information on nearly every species, including most of the necessary information to properly maintain and breed these animals in captivity. It is the best, most informative, and most packed with facts book I have found to date on Geckos. I recomend this book highly.

"Geckoes" translated by John Hackworth 1995, from the original German Edition 1991. John Hackworth, who is also an amateur herpetologist has done an excellent translation of this extensive manuscript. This book is an great reference for anyone interested in geckos. It has 77 species accounts covering the geckos that are most commonly kept in captivity. "Geckoes" covers information about geckos in detail that many other books of this type often over generalize. The book that I would recommend in every gecko enthusiast's library.

This book is waaayyy overpriced, when you can get John Coborn's Breeding and Keeping Geckoes, a much better book with larger and better illustrations for much less than half the price. Only if you're a biology major doing a thesis on geckoes would you need Henkel's book.
