Perfect easy informative reading, received quickly
by Jay Hay
I bought this book in a panic; we acquired our Leopard Gecko by accident when she wandered into our living room. We initially planned to take her to a sanctuary, but our children fell in love with her and “Sneaky” joined the family.
The closest we had previously come to keeping a lizard was watching “Walking With Dinosaurs”, so clearly some urgent research was needed and this book was where I began.
It has enough information to get set-up and start feeding, which was essential in the early days; Sneaky had arrived sans tail and had clearly encountered a predator prior to her arrival, so getting her settled and feeding was key to her survival after the initial visit to the vet.
In summary I would say that this book is a good place to start, and the recommendations of further information in particular were invaluable.

Bought this as me and my step daughter have recently got some geckos, it neither have any real knowledge of keeping them.
Here’s hoping for a good read, and a wealth of knowledge to keep them fit and healthy !
