Owing to their size and placid temperament, blue-tongued skinks are a unique group of vivarium animals. Since the early days of herpetoculture, the bizarre sleepy lizard (Tiliqua rugosa) and the impressive blue-tongued skinks (Tiliqua spp.) have been very popular pets, quickly becoming very friendly towards their keepers and establishing a real rapport with them.

This book covers a wide range of knowledge of the biology of the genera Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus in 30 chapters written by 18 experts on the group. The German-Australian-Swiss team of editors has gathered together well-known scientists and experienced vivarium hobbyists and professionals to contribute detailed reports on all species and subspecies of blue-tongued skinks. Particular emphasis has been laid on the husbandry and reproduction of these animals in captivity. Additional chapters cover the biology, anatomy, systematics, history and conservation of these fascinating large skinks. Three new subspecies of blue-tongued skinks are described. Comprehensive identification aids, a bibliography and a list of specialist terms round off this unique book.

Hey there, I'm very interested in buying a copy depending on how much the shipping would be, I'm from B.C. Canada, thanks! :3

Hi, Autumn.
To figure out the exact cost, I would have to know the city that it's going to. Just to give you an approximate cost, I used Vancouver and it came out to about US$20.
