Lizards:

Lizards make great pets, and this book can help get you up to speed on how to care for them before you bring one of these reptiles into your household. The fun design and easy-to-read text is suitable for kids, but the information is appropriate for any age level. You may not even realize how many different species of lizards are kept in captivity until you read this book. As a potential lizard owner, you have a lot to choose from. This book will help you make the right decision.

This book is one of three written by Reptiles Magazine editor Russ Case. All three are extremely easy to read, full of useful information and a great introduction to the care & keeping of reptiles. My teenage son has read all three and the only problem now is choosing what pet to start with! I can highly recommend all three.

All kids seem to be entranced by lizards. I wish that when I lived in the desert I knew as much about them as is in this book. My friend's 9-year-old is a city kid, so I got him this, plus "Snakes" and "Turtles & Tortoises." He'll be smarter than I am about desert creatures when he's done reading them.

Thinking of buying your kid a beardie or a frilled lizard? This book will start them on the way to responsible pet lizard ownership. I wish we'd had this years ago when friend's son had his bearded dragon. It details everything from how to set up their enclosure and the temperatures they need, to what to feed them and how often.
