Care Books

Postby megamuff » Wed Nov 14, 2018 12:37 pm

I’m just curious, do any of you know of any books that give good info on the care of Blue tongues? I also like to read about the history of animals and random facts. I found a couple of books on amazon but they had pretty bad reviews. I know that the internet is full of information about them, but sometimes I just want to sit down and read an actual book.

...... Wish I could help you. I was actually looking a few weeks back for the same thing. Couldn't find one that seemed advanced enough to interest me. I did pick one up regarding Prehensile Tailed Skinks which was fun for me to read. It was fairly old but it was really interesting to see how the care has evolved since the late 1980's (when the book was written) until now. Unfortunately, with the prevalence of information on the internet, I think these books are not as common as they once were. Its a blessing and a curse all at the same time.

Thanks, I might order the first one. I like being able to find so much info online but I wish some good breeders would get together and write a book on them.
