An entertaining and educational introduction to the world of lizards of all sizes, colors, shapes, and personalities, Lizards provides keepers of all ages with intriguing information about common and unusual lizards. This colorful guide by herp expert Russ Case offers beginners who are looking to adopt a lizard the right guidance for purchasing a healthy specimen and for creating a safe, comfortable home where the pet lizard can thrive. Beginners will learn about the anatomy of lizards and their behavior in the wild and in captivity. The chapter “Lizard Food” is a lesson in how to provide lizards with the proper nutrients so that owners meet all of the special needs of their pets. The chapter “Five Most Excellent Lizard Pets” presents the most common species for newcomers, including the leopard gecko, green anole, bearded dragon, Chinese water dragon, blue-tongued skink, each illustrated with color photos and detailed with specific advice about feeding and housing. Additional examples of lizards are covered in “Other Cool Lizards,” such as the green iguana, chameleon, monitor lizard, tokay and day geckos and uromastyx; all of which are fascinating to read about though not recommended for beginners. A chapter on potential health problems gives a basic overview of how to care for and maintain captive lizards in the best of health. Sidebars throughout the text give the reader good advice on dos and don’ts to avoid common mistakes keepers make with these pet animals. Glossary included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to Lizards
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2008
This book is one of three written by Reptiles Magazine editor Russ Case. All three are extremely easy to read, full of useful information and a great introduction to the care & keeping of reptiles.

My teenage son has read all three and the only problem now is choosing what pet to start with! I can highly recommend all three.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2008
Lizards make great pets, and this book can help get you up to speed on how to care for them before you bring one of these reptiles into your household. The fun design and easy-to-read text is suitable for kids, but the information is appropriate for any age level.

You may not even realize how many different species of lizards are kept in captivity until you read this book. As a potential lizard owner, you have a lot to choose from. This book will help you make the right decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars All You Need to Know About Lizards
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2008
Thinking of buying your kid a beardie or a frilled lizard? This book will start them on the way to responsible pet lizard ownership. I wish we'd had this years ago when friend's son had his bearded dragon. It details everything from how to set up their enclosure and the temperatures they need, to what to feed them and how often.

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2008
All kids seem to be entranced by lizards. I wish that when I lived in the desert I knew as much about them as is in this book. My friend's 9-year-old is a city kid, so I got him this, plus "Snakes" and "Turtles & Tortoises." He'll be smarter than I am about desert creatures when he's done reading them.
