Crested Gecko in Captivity (With Notes on All 'Rhacodactylus' Species (Professional Breeders Series)

This is a great resource. Some of the information is a little outdated but besides that its really great! It will come in handy :)

This is for my 9-year old granddaughter interested in crested geckos; she has read and re-read it.

Good information JB

I give this slim book 3 stars, not because there's anything wrong with the book per se, but because it is quite a broad and basic overview, and a more detailed book might be what you're looking for. If you are a beginning hobbyist, this book will provide the groundwork and basics for pet ownership of a Crested Gecko. However, someone looking for more detailed specifics, will need to pick up a more comprehensive volume. This book is 69 pgs long, inc. bibliography, so each chapter is about 6 pgs long - large print, with lots of large photos and the pages being about 5.5" x 8.5" - so not a lot of text. The text that is here is good, clearly written, and helpful. I just wish the feeding section was longer, and the Health and Diseases chapter is 7 1/3 pgs long - but with section breaks, photos and large font headers, it's precious little info. A section on Crested Gecko behavior would have been nice too. The sections on housing, diet, breeding, are pretty good overviews. Certainly enough for a beginner, but if you're going to seriously get into Cresties in a big way, in breeding, raising, etc. PLEASE get other books. For a beginner, I would recommend this book. I also must say, the photos are excellent. Lots of great full color pics of just about every type of color/pattern of Crestie, and good photos of housing set-ups, nests, etc. So, in summation - very nice beginner's book, but may leave you wanting a lot more depth of topics.

This book is a huge waste of time and poorly written to boot!The author restates herself far too much due to lack of content.One could easily find far better information on this species by searching the internet. The pictures are the only good part of this book.

Really informative and lots of useful information, thank you for all the photos as they help a lot. I am new to crested geckos and found this book so helpful.
