Good book for beginners...,

This review is from: Newts and Salamanders (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book was helpful when I decided to keep a newt because I was able to find out what I could feed it. It did not give information about a few of the species pictured in the book, but for a beginner there is information about feeding and housing that is useful.

Exceptionally good book on Salamanders and Newts,
By DJ (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Newts and Salamanders (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
"Newts and Salamanders" has plenty of worthwhile information from a true expert, plus many excellent photographs and great drawings. This book is the way it should be done. I have read many animal care books over the years and this one is right on the mark. This book confirmed that my two Tiger Salamanders are getting proper care but I also picked up a few hints regarding feeding and cage decoration that will make it even better for them.
I want to emphasize the quality of this book, in the writing, the artistic choice of photographs, and the drawings sprinkled throughout the book. The book actually FEELS good and uses high quality paper. This book is guaranteed a permanent spot on my shelf of pet care books.
