Increasingly popular, these creatures offer low-maintenance, low-allergy, space-saving alternatives to traditional pets. This practical and accessible handbook covers more than fifty of the most popular amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates available from captive-bred stock and offers care requirements, handling advice, breeding information, photographs, and more for each species. It also includes expert advice on:
- Choosing the most suitable species
- Setting up a tank or vivarium
- Feeding and proper diet
- Health hazards and warning signs
- And much more!
