5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect book for ANYONE intersted in Leopard Geckos!, January 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guide to Owning a Leopard Gecko/ Leopard Geckos: Identification, Care, & Breeding (Paperback)

This book is PERFECT for anyone who owns, or has any type of interest in Leopard Geckos. The book has GREAT quality, with thick pages, beautiful LAMINATED PHOTOS, and it is easily understood by anyone! The author keeps things simple to make it understandable for anyone. I was amazed after reading the book in two days, by how much was covered in only 65 pages! I recommend this book to ANYBODY...if you see it, BUY IT.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For New & Old Gecko Owners., July 28, 2005

This review is from: The Guide to Owning a Leopard Gecko/ Leopard Geckos: Identification, Care, & Breeding (Paperback)

This book has many nice gecko pictures (some not of leopard geckos)except for the brutal pictures of geckos being eaten by creepy predators like gigantic spiders and scorpians. Don't worry, the pictures are in the back (or more specifically, page 55). Because of those pictures, it's not the best book for young children that don't understand "The Circle Of Life".

Besides the pictures, it has the perfect amount of information for old and new gecko owners. The author talks to you like a best friend and each chapter is useful in some way.

1.Choosing A Leopard Gecko

2.Housing Leopard Geckos

3.Food and Water (WARNING MICE LOVERS: This has pics of baby mice being eaten by geckos. Don't worry, baby mice for food is optional.)

4.Breeding

5.Health (and how to cure the problems if they happen)

6.Other Geckos (this is where the bad pics are!)

And a glossary.

Besides the interesting pics that can break a heart and the health problems that will make you a tiny bit nervous for your gecko's health, it's a brilliant book that makes you feel like a friend of the author and a good gecko owner!!!
