Book Description

May 2004
A number of iguana pet books have been written in recent years, but still only one addresses the complete needs of these big green lizards: "Green Iguana—The Ultimate Owner's Manual" by James W. Hatfield III. This comprehensive yet highly readable book is just what its name says: the ULTIMATE book on green iguanas.

In 650+ pages of clear, lively, compelling and accurate text, the author presents the most current, scientific and useful information available about iguanas.

This new Second Edition introduces important medical black-and-white photos from internationally known veterinarian Scott Stahl, plus new photos in the color section. And to make sure more iguana owners have access to the ULTIMATE iguana book, the retail price was reduced. No other pet care book on any animal offers this level of commitment to its readers.

"Green Iguana—The Ultimate Owner's Manual," the culmination of over 10 years of research, weighs in at more than 2 1/2 pounds and is the largest, most comprehensive, scientifically accurate, up-to-date, helpful, fun, easy-to-read iguana pet care book ever written. And with the book's clear, accessible layout, you can quickly find whatever information you need.

The book’s nine chapters and ten appendixes cover everything from birth to death of an iguana.

"Green Iguana—The Ultimate Owner’s Manual" also features:
° 24 pages of color photos
° 16 black-and-white photos, including exclusive iguana skeleton photos
° 9 iguana medical photos from a world-renowned veterinarian
° more than 30 detailed scientific illustrations, drawings, charts, diagrams, and tables
° hundreds of quotes from iguana owners, veterinarians, scientific researchers, and others, spread throughout the book to emphasize important points.

Recommended by iguana owners, veterinarians, pet stores, the ASPCA and others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iguana in the Garden, August 15, 2010
By

This review is from: Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual (Paperback)
I had no intention of buying this book until one evening in July my wife spotted something strange in her vegetable garden (in Akron, Ohio). Yes it was a juvenile green iguana that I managed to capture about an hour later. I was unable to find a local rescue society and did not want to give it to a pet store because we thought someone tossed it out and we did not want to have it sold to a like minded person. Several hundred dollars later the iguana, JJ, is living in my apartment.
I can only join in the many other reviews that highly recommend this book. It has everything you need to know about keeping iguanas including great advice on the "Ultimate Substrate" that I am using now. Combined with information from the Green Iguana Society I can't imagine that any question about pet iguanas would go unanswered. Just as important it shows these animals as having the potential to become friendly and endearing pets with a real personality. So if you are thinking about getting an iguana read this book, preferably before you acquire one.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual (Paperback)
This is by far the most complete and comprehensive book about the green Iguana we have found. It covers everything you need to know, and more you did not even think of before. I highly recommend anyone who has or wants to get an Iguana read this, it will save you time and money, and possibly be the difference for a healthy and happy Iguana

5.0 out of 5 stars The most in depth iguana book you'll ever read, September 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual (Paperback)
This book is amazing and walks you through every stage of an iguanas life. i recommend it for anyone who is thinking of purchasing or adopting an iguana. These lizards require much care but everything you will ever need to know about them is in this book from feeding, housing, their anatomy, temperaments, medical issues, breeding and even taming! not only that but it's very entertaining to read. I love the author's humor and the conversational writing style.
Definitely recommend!
