Every reptile and amphibian lover will enjoy this hilarious collection of warm-hearted revelations by herpers about their cold-blooded charges--snakes, lizards, frogs and turtles. If you send out birth announcements for a hatching ... cruise pet stores instead of the mall ... feed the herps before the kids--then you'll laugh-out-loud at these off-the-cuff comments about what it's like to be a herper: the bugs and the worms ... the bites and the mice ... the escapes and the escapades!

As a child growing up in Brooklyn, I never imagined falling in love with a turtle lover from the Bronx who would fill our Manhattan apartment with hard-shelled creatures. This goes to show that life and love can be inexplicably weird, and, if you're lucky, also rather wonderful.

Nor could I anticipate that my husband, Allen, and I would work together (without filing for divorce) on articles for Ranger Rick, and on three books for the children's library market, including one on turtles. I've also written for magazines and worked as a direct response copywriter and a copy editor.

Today, Allen and I live in Queens, New York, with two cats and a paltry three turtles.

These are some great stories from genuine herp lovers. It's a quick read and I very much enjoyed it. I plan to buy more and share them with my herp friends. Thanks for putting together this fun collection!

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2014
I got this as a kindle unlimited book and really enjoyed it. I wanted to add a few quotes of my own for the next book ;) (sorry if there are any duplicates)

- You stock the fridge with earthworms and nightcrawlers but don't own a fishing rod.
- You justify the grosser parts of the hobby to your friends by saying "it's for the kids" and mean your herps.
- You feel no embarrassment whatsoever in praising your crested gecko in baby talk when he poops.
