3.0 out of 5 stars
unfortunately lacking in info.,
By Craig Urekar (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: General Care and Maintenance of Popular Tortoises (The Herpetocultural Library Series) (Paperback)
This had the potential to be a wonderful book, but it is lacking in the information that you would expect to get in the books of this series. The diseases and disorders section is esentially non-existant and the specific care of the different species is far too generalized and totally lacks detail. It is a very good book for beginners or those looking for overviews of the major species and their care, but that is about it. Still waiting for the Tortoise Manual - which is long overdue.

The best book I have ever read on the care of tortoises,
By A Customer
This review is from: General Care and Maintenance of Popular Tortoises (The Herpetocultural Library Series) (Paperback)
I have used this book extensively to help me care for several species of tortoises, Leopards, Sulcatas, Redfoot and Yellowfoots. The content is highly accurate and every tortoise keeper should use this book as his "bible" of care specs.
