The Box Turtle Manual

by Roger J Klingenberg, Philippe De Vosjoli, Roger J. Klingenberg

Book Overview

The Box Turtle Manual seeks to "help prospective owners keep their turtles healthy and happy." Given the low price tag placed on a box turtle in a pet shop, many casual shoppers add a box turtle to their household without preparation or knowledge about how to keep the animal alive. Since quality information is difficult to find on box turtles, Philippe de Vosjoli and Dr. Roger Klingenberger remedy the situation with this Advanced Vivarium Systems...

Perfect, wish I had it sooner

My son had a wood turtle who was experiencing some problems with his eyes. Finally bought this book, but the turtle died before I got the book. The book is very good and has a lot of good information for us people who don't know much about turtles. Wish I would have gotten the book a little sooner and realized what the problem really was.

The Box Turtle Manual or "My Box Turtle Bible"

I love this book. I can't praise it enough for all the helpful hints it has given me, helped me out with big and small problems I've encountered with my turtles, and last but not least, it SAVED ME MONEY because I didn't have to go to the veterinarian with all the small problems, they were easily dealt with once I knew how. It's a must-have for any turtle-owner!

This book was a life saver!

I bought a box turtle in 1993 because my grandkids talked me into it! And boy was I ignorant! The little thing almost died before I found The Box Turtle Manual. And no wonder, because I was doing everything wrong! This little book saved my turtle's life, I have no doubt. And now my turtle is not only a healthy, happy, growing, hibernating, reptile, but she has her own website.... It answered ALL the questions I had, plus ones I didn't know enough to ask! It was and continues to be invaluable! Thank You Philippe De Vosjoli and Roger Klingenberg!

A must for Box Turtle owners!

This inexpensive book can be the one and only source for those who just acquired a Box Turtle or who has had one for a little while. You will be able to get to know your turtle better, thus providing it with better survival chances or better health and longevity. Owners must be aware of what it takes to keep a Box Turtle!

great book for first time turtle owners.

The chapter on illness helped me catch an ear infection in my own turtle at an earlier stage than the vet had ever seen.
