3.0 out of 5 stars
Not exactly what it says!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care (Paperback)
I bought the book in hopes of finding out how to build a terrarium for a specific frog. Instead it quickly ran through a few different terrarium types and how to build them and then went on to describe all the many reptiles and amphibians you can own. I knew exactly the frog I wanted, I just needed to know a little bit more about their enviroment and what types of plants they like. Big disappointment!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not about the cage about the animal,
By
This review is from: Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care (Paperback)
I bought the book being a person who loves zoos and was expecting it to cover the materials, chemicals, theorys, and design/setup of the cage and what plants to use with what lighting but none of the above really appeared in the book a completely misleading title and poor purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I expected,
By Chris Reardon (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care (Paperback)
I got this book in hopes of finding detailed information about the actual construction and maintenace techniques for terrariums/vivariums. While this book does address those issues for a few pages, the bulk of the content deals with the various types of reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, and insects that may be kept. If your are looking for a book that addresses the potential denizens of the terrarium specifically, this would make a very good reference - especially if you are still trying to decide what you want. However, I had to give it four stars because I found the title misleading.
