Questions about the bluey bible

Postby SlipperWrasse » Fri Jan 10, 2014 4:53 pm

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

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.

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.
