This limited edition book features, in detail, methods for the husbandry and captive breeding of the wonderful Madagascan frog - the Golden Mantella (Mantella aurantiaca). The book is written in an informative but easy-to-understand manner and is based upon the authors experience of maintaining these frogs in captivity for 12 years. One of the most detailed sections is the photographic diary of the successful rearing of the eggs through to tadpoles and then newly-metamorphosed froglets on a day-by-day basis. There is also be a selection of monochrome and colour photographs along with line art from the pencil of brilliant artist Paul Benson (who illustrated Richard Griffiths' book 'Newts and Salamanders of Europe' (Poyser)).

4.0 out of 5 stars
Superb specialist book,
By Michael Hutson (South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Mantella Handbook (Hardcover)
I have been keeping mantellas for a number of years and aside from a few articles in various magazines have found no decent literature on these fabulous frogs. This book gave me in-depth knowledge on how to keep and breed these frogs and I thought the photo-diary on hatching eggs and rearing the tadpoles was wonderful. The centre-fold of the book also has some stunning colour plates of these frogs. My only gripe is that it is a little pricey, however having said that it is a limited edition book and good, solid information on any subject one is interested in is almost priceless. Can't wait for the next book Mark!

Great little book on a great little frog,
By Ms. Julie Ehrstein (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Mantella Handbook (Hardcover)
This is a must have for anyone that loves these tiny little jewels. Mantellas are often thought of as difficult creatures to keep. This book gives away all the secrets to keeping them in captivity, happy and healthy, for years. Thanks Marc!
