Publisher's Synopsis
Crested geckos are one of the most exciting species to enter the reptile hobby in the last many decades. Long thought extinct, several lizards were discovered to be living in New Caledonia in the mid-1990s. Shortly after that, a handful of these geckos made their way into the pet trade, where they determined to be one of the hardiest, least difficult species a reptile lover could desire. But keepers need still learn all they can learn about the biology, behavior, and natural history of these charming lizards, to have an excellent opportunity at successful maintenance. Inside, you will find data about these subjects, as well as the basic techniques keepers use to keep their crested geckos healthy and happy. The author, Ben Team, is an environmental teacher and author with over 16 years of professional reptile-keeping experience. Information, observations, and narration the natural world. When not addressing about animals, habitats, and plants, I enjoy spending time with his beautiful wife.
