About the Author

Chris Mattison, B.Sc., has an honors degree in zoology from the University of Sheffield and specializes in the natural history of reptiles and amphibians. He has written more than 20 books and several magazine articles on exotic animals and other wildlife topics, has traveled extensively to study and photograph wildlife, and has lectured to international audiences on the natural history of reptiles and amphibians.

From the Back Cover

The popularity of snakes, turtles, frogs, and other exotic pets is growing. It's estimated that nearly 5 million households in North America own at least one reptile or amphibian.

It's exciting that so many people enjoy exotic pets; however, new owners must realize these animals need special care to flourish in captivity. What Reptile? provides prospective owners with vital advice for choosing and caring for more than 150 species of reptiles and amphibians. Each entry details:

  • Animal temperament and habits
  • Special equipment and housing
  • Daily care needs and breeding habits
  • Animal pricing and care costs
  • Potential drawbacks that new owners should know

    Don't purchase an exotic pet without first consulting this book. It could be the most important step in providing a beloved animal with a safe and happy home.
