Does the bluey bible contain information and natural history or husbandry information?
And where is a decent place to order it online from Australia?

Re: Questions about the bluey bible
I think it is a great book for anyone who really loves BTS. I think it is probably a rough/dry read for the casual BTS lover (which is totally ok! some people just want a fun pet) but if you are interested in natural history, A&P, etc it is the go to source. Also, it has some of the best information on PTS if you like them as well. I am building a substantial reptile library and the BTS bible is definitely one of the crown jewels of my library.

Re: Questions about the bluey bible
Love this book! This is one of those reference books that you go back to over & over again. I think it's a must have if you are building a nice reptile reference collection and especially if you are seriously into BTS.
