Overview

Reptiles are popular pets, and it can be argued that the bearded dragon is the best reptile to keep as a pet. This newly updated and expanded edition of the best-selling The Bearded Dragon Manual promises to excite new and seasoned herp enthusiasts with its in-depth discussion on all aspects of dragon keeping and its brilliant color photography. Written by a team of recognized herpetoculture authorities, veterinarians, and specialists, this volume offers comprehensive information that will be welcomed by newcomers and experienced bearded-dragon enthusiasts alike. As the reptile-keeping hobby has grown, keepers and breeders have sought species that thrive best in the captive habitat. Bearded Dragons are one of the best examples of this. Beautiful, tame and interesting, bearded dragons certainly draw a considerable amount of interest from reptile enthusiasts, but it is their moderate size, hardy nature and generalist feeding habits that make them so well-suited for captivity. This book also introduces you to some of the more common ailments affecting this species and the proper ways to diagnose and treat them. You'll also learn how to prevent these illnesses from occurring with a clean and properly heated enclosure and a proper balance of vegetable and protein food and regular administration of calcium supplements. With their dramatic spiked heads and variety of colorations, bearded dragons have taken the pet world by storm since becoming a world-wide option in the early 1990s-and with the information provided in this book, you too can become a proud dragon owner.
