4.0 out of 5 stars An important manual for the reptile breeder., December 3, 1998
This manual takes the reptile owner beyond the simple task of care into the subject of why to prevent and how to treat parasites in our reptiles.

The manual explains in simple terms the complexities of reptile parasites. It goes into the how-to of fecal floats, parasite identification and treatments. It takes the mystery out of the vet's back room.

One of the shortest yet most useful chapters is "Hygiene and the Herpetoculturist". An important read for all reptile keepers and breeders.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Amphibian & Reptile Keepers should have this book, February 24, 2001
By A Customer
And you should have it before you need it--as in, before you animal is sick. This is a complete and well done reference guide for those of us who don't need to know the vet manual's textbook explanations and can't afford to own those massive volume collections anyhow. It covers basic diagnosis, examination, equipment, internal and external parasites, medicines, dosages, tips for treating, how to administer meds to differnt types of animals, hygiene information, and, best of all to help your vet out, it contains photographs of microscope slides of what the nematoads or protozoans will look like and sketches of them for identification of relative size.

If you don't have an exotics or herp vet near you, this will help your furry pet vet help your herp. Believe me, I am thankful every day that I got this book when I didn't really need it because it meant the small town horse and dog vet clinic could see my old world chameleon and HELPED me, like they would not have been able to without this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Entry Level Book, February 6, 2000
By Kuhlinayn (Michigan - USA) - See all my reviews
Excellent book for the basic reptile keeper to get an idea of what to expect and what to look for when caring for herps in thier care. Also a good source of info on things to watch out for when dealing with vets who may not be versed in herps such as certain meds to avoid, or problems experienced as well as common dosages. Most certainly a must have book for any herper's library.
