Great pictures and detailed information,
By
This review is from: Tree Frogs (Complete Herp Care) (Paperback)
This book's excellent pictures and detailed information on the species of tree frogs found in the pet trade is what caught my eye. As a beginner I wanted something that would not lump tree frogs into a few basic groups since I know they exist in many diverse enviroments-from my own back yard the USA, to the tropics. I found the housing and feeding information to be complete and there were many pictures of terrariums and descriptions of some interesting habitat features, such as the "rain bar". I didn't know some tree frogs did not need high humidty and the author was very clear on which tree frogs were from more arid enviroments and did not need a lot of misting. The health section seemed short and obviously the author was trying to point out that illnesses were to be avoided at all cost by good husbandry. The book covered a lot of natural history and from that information owners should be able to tell what ranges of humidity to use for their tree frogs. The natural history sections of the various tree frogs was informative and interesting even if I can never get one of the more rare/expensive or delicate tree frogs. Overall, I think the book is a good read for people with tree frogs, or for people just interested in herps.

This review is from: Tree Frogs (Complete Herp Care) (Paperback)
This is a good book, gives you a lot of information. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't give you specifics like I would have wanted. An example is that it doesn't tell you exact humidities that are needed, just a range of how much the humidity can go up or down. I also wish the terrarium set up pictures could have been bigger. Also more on illnesses would have been helpful. But I am glad I got this particular book. I looked at a lot and this seemed to be the best one.

This book was very informative in describing the needs of tree frogs. The section on feeding was a particular point of interest for me as I am a novice at keeping frogs. Overall it was a good read.
