Customer Reviews

Great for beginners!!

I really like this book. I bought it because I recently purchased a Leopard Gecko and because I am a first time owner I thought it would be best to learn a little about them. The book has been very helpful in making sure my Leo gets what he needs for nutrition and also he recently had a problem with shedding his skin and the book told me what I needed to do. It is a good price and a smart buy for the beginner!

Loooved this book!

My son and I bought a Leopard Gecko at the pet store and on the way to the register asked if they had any books on caring for one. This was the only book they had so I didn't expect alot. I was so surprised. While I was just looking for some basic information, I was thrilled that it was so easy to read and read as if we were reading a great letter from a friend who knows everything about Gecko's and their care. While I was sad to read the part about not being able to handle them much, I think that for my 8 year old son, it just affirmed that we need to be incredibly careful if we do and that it isn't a toy for him and his friends. I felt the chapters were broken down in a way that made quick referencing a breeze as well. My son says " I am glad I learned how to be careful so that I won't cause him to lose his tail". We also enjoyed looking at all the great colored photos of Leopard Gecko's. This book is highly recommended, Enjoy!

Good News for Geckos and Their Owners

I purchased this book and the first of my three leopard geckos 18 months ago. It has served me very well with clear practical guidelines for setting up a gecko-friendly environment, providing good day to day care, identifying and dealing with health problems, breeding. The book also provides interesting background information about geckos. It is well-written and nicely designed with many attractive color photographs. Ray Hunziker appears to have the well-being of both geckos and owners in mind: He tells you that geckos don't like to be handled and suggests you handle them as little as possible. He provides a wide range of choices for the environment and the care of geckos, accommodating owners' differing esthetics and budgets. My copy of the book went to school with a grandchild and has not returned, so I am about to purchase a second copy. One of my female geckos is laying eggs, so I need my Hunziker. This an exceptionally useful and attractive guide.
