Ok I was looking around for some books to take home from work the other day so I could read up on some of our reptiles I don't know about, and I found the coolest book ever made hidden in a cupboard in the back room, this thing looks like a dictionary, which essentially it is. The title is "The Completely Illustrated Atlas of Reptiles and Amphibians for the Terrarium". Its close to a 1000 pages long and has Everything, ever reptile I've ever heard mentioned, information on keeping most of them, or at least their natural environments to work off of, diseases and illnesses that affect reptiles and amphibians, anatomy parts, breeding information, literally Everything! Only downsides, it was published in 1988 so I don't know how much of it has changed since then, and of course everything in there is in its scientific name, so it takes me Forever to find Anything, but I'm gettin better.

It was put together by T.F.H. Publications if anyone wanted to know. Its so amazing

Ah yes, TFH Publications... abotu all I can say for them is they have some nice pics sometimes. The information that they publish is often very questionable though.

All in all though, the book that you got is an exception for TFH, in that it is pretty decent. Just bear in mind that much of the information it contains is outdated, especially when it comes to classification & scientific names. It is a good atarting point for some research though. The only other TFH books that I'd probably recommend are a select few veterinary texts.

Yeah, even myself, with the limited knowledge that I have currently, am able to spot errors. Take the picture section for the tree boas, 3 or 4 of them are Definatelly Not tree boas, but rather tree Pythons. Those nice big heat pits give them away if nothing else does.

(I'm Quite sure that tree boas do not have the pronounced heat pits that tree pythons have, but of course, I could be wrong...and with my luck, I just might be)
