This review is from: General Care and Maintenance of Bearded Dragons (The Herpetocultural Library Series) (Paperback)

Given the expertise and knowledge of the authors, it should come as no surprise that this book has been the herpetological equivalent of the bible for Bearded Dragon owners since its original publication.

Even though some of the information (especially on diet and temperature) is a little outdated, it still holds its own in the market and once you buy a copy you will find yourself referring to it again and again (my own copy is very dog-eared!)

The current version has been updated to include extra photographs and if you have, or are thinking of getting a Bearded Dragon, the frist thing you should do is buy this book and then read it several times.

It is THE book on Bearded Dragons. Two of the world's greatest experts (De Vosjoli & Mailloux) came together to write the only credible, informative guide to the care and breeding of these interesting lizards. Packed with very helpful information and pictures. Highly recommended.
