This review is from: General Care and Maintenance of Popular Monitors & Tegus (Herpetocultural Library, The) (Paperback)
a great book for beginners although much of the info is on grassland monitors or wild caught specimins.Someone needs to write a more up to date book on breeding and keeping tree monitors.

This review is from: General Care and Maintenance of Popular Monitors & Tegus (Herpetocultural Library, The) (Paperback)
I bought this book since there's a distinct lack of literature on tegus and a little less than half the book is on tegus here. I wasn't upset about the small amount of tegu info, I kinda expected it but I KNOW for a fact that some of the information in that book is inaccurate. I can't take anything in it for fact now. I was better off in the forums...

Decent,
This review is from: General Care and Maintenance of Popular Monitors & Tegus (Herpetocultural Library, The) (Paperback)
This book has a lot of good information in it but it reads like a science journal. It was also written like 10 years ago so much of it is outdated (particularly in regards to breeding success). It is however a good companion piece to "Monitors and Tegus (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)" by R.D. Bartlett.
