Success With a Reptile Pet - Bearded Dragon
Tom Mazorlig
ISBN: 0793830206
Hardcover, 64 pp.
The author shares with the beginning keeper his knowledge and experiences with these charming lizards and covers all the problems likely to be faced. He also reveals the little tricks that will make keeping a Beardie all that much more enjoyable. He goes into details about setting up a terrarium suitable for Bearded Dragons and maintaining colonies of these lizards, including practical advice and instuctions on care and breeding.
"In just a few years, the Bearded Dragon has gone from a virtually unknown lizard to one of the most popular items in the pet shop. It's moderate size, hardiness, and peaceful temperment make it an excellent pet, while it's ease of care, acceptance of a broad variety of foods, and tolerance of changing terrarium conditions make it an excellent selection for the beginning reptile keeper. Because Bearded Dragons breed freely in the terrarium, producing large numbers of eggs that hatch well with minimum care, the price of Beardies has fallen so these lizards are affordable to everyone."
