A Great Manual For First-Time Owners Or Experienced Owners I love this book and I've read it many times at the library. It has nice pictures and reads clear. The directions are very easy to follow. I think if you are looking for a book on box turtles, look NO further!
Excellent source of info IMO, every owner of a box turt should have this book in their home. excellent source of information that goes beyond basic care. it includes a well organized section on common ailments and their treatments.
Do buy!
Great Book for New Turtle Owners I purchased this book because my new box turtle, who seemed very lively in the pet store just would not eat. I'd done a great deal of research on what they like to eat on the internet, but thought perhaps he was sick. This book was very detailed, and wonderful at addressing my concerns with all the aspects of why he may not have been eating. While I don't agree with all the things the book says (Like turtles should be seen and not interacted with) Its a very good book for diagnosis of problems.
a little preachy This book while informative was a little disappointing in other ways, such as its tone etc. Still a solid reference, and a good way to learn about how to take care of your pet.
