The Beginners Guide To Keeping Reptiles And Amphibians

If you or someone you know wnats to keep a pet reptile or amphibian I've got both good news and bad...

The bad news is that there's so much to learn it can be hard to know where to start.

What are the best species to start off with? How much space do you need? How much time is their care going to take? How expensive is it going to be to get set up? How long will they live? Where can you get them from in the first place?

And so on.

The good news is that I've just boiled my 10+ years of keeping reptiles and amphibians in captivity into a single work that is suitable for even the most novice of pet keeper.
