Upon receiving my edition of the Herpetoclture of Leopard Geckos I knew I was in for a wonderful reading experience when I looked at the beatiful book cover of the gorgeous Raptor starring at me. I sat down began to read.Once I started I could not put it down. The book is a masterpiece. To me it is the Encyclopedia of Leopard Geckos. While reading the book it felt as if The book was alive, every thing was described in such detail.The remarkable close up illustrations of various Gecko colors are unbelieveable.A must for every one. Finally justice for the Leopard Geckos.All you will need to know about this wonderful animal.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best, August 12, 2005

This review is from: The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos (Paperback)

This definately has to be the single greatest book ever written on leos. Anyone who is tired of false rumors, internet "experts", and forum newbies should get this book. I've had leos for ten years, and I still haven't been able to put this down. However, I believe that any newbie could easily understand it and I 100% recommend this book to anyone remotely interested in leos, new keepers and old alike.

After waiting many month's for the book to become available,i was not dissapointed in the slightest.The book covers every aspect of keeping leopards and gives an indepth coverage of leo morphs,some of which have never been available to the public.The picture's are vibrant in colour and give food for thought to any leopard gecko breeder new or old.The book is expertly written and will no doubt become the best selling leopard gecko book of all time.it will be classed as a leopard keeper's bible.
