Arcadia Guide to Reptile & Amphibian Nutriton

 This is a MUST-HAVE book for all reptile enthusiasts. I have read it cover to cover. And in my 36 years in working with reptiles and exotic animals I have never read such a comprehensive book on the subject of Reptile Nutrition. And it is in down to earth, easy to understand language that makes reading a pleasure. Both beginners and advanced hobbyists will get a wealth of information from this book. It is by far the best book on the subject! Hats off to Mr. John Courteney-Smith for writing such a great and much needed book. Cheers!!
