Notes

Siuna Reid is a vet with over twenty years experience working with reptiles. She holds a certificate in zoo medicine (reptiles, small mammals and exotic birds).
Reptiles have recently become ever more popular as a choice of pet for many people all around the world. Unfortunately, there are few books giving clear, simple care instructions regarding this exciting, and relatively new group of pets.
Aimed primarily at the eight to fifteen year age group, this book concentrates on the general care and well being of the lizard. Illustrated throughout with photographs and colourful drawings, demonstrating everything from housing to the essential food requirements, heat, light and even guides on when to visit the vet.
Having seen many reptiles neglected due to a lack of information regarding thir basic needs, Siuna has produced this book to help fill in some vital gaps of knowledge. The book is fun to read and easy to relate to, making it a must have for lizard owneers young and old alike!
