Product Information

Coexisting with a turtle or tortoise may not be a warm and fuzzy experience, but it definitely has its rewards. And with more than 250 species to choose from, you?re bound to find one that?s right for you. Looks-wise, they can range from very plain and unadorned to a brightly colored and embellished with every manner of crest, crown, spike, and dewlap. As for personality, you?d be amazed at how very different they can be, ranging from shy and withdrawn, to outgoing and friendly, to outright aggressive. And when it comes to longevity, well, let?s just say that when you commit to a turtle or tortoise, you?re in it for the long haul.

Turtles and Tortoises for Dummies by Liz Paliko
A very informative and well laid out book. Could have done with more colour photos however the black and white sketches do go well with the text. Another criticism I do have is that the Turtle and Tortoise info is all mixed up, rather than being divided into seperate areas. It is rare that you would end up looking to buy or own both a Turtle and a Tortoise at the same time! Recommend this book to anyone that is completely clueless and needs to begin from scratch.
