Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry is designed to introduce veterinary practitioners to the diagnosis and treatment of disease in captive amphibians. Although designed for the veterinary clinician, this text is an essential part of any herpetologist's library, covering various aspects of amphibian captive husbandry and propagation while providing a firm foundation that enables the reader to evaluate a given husbandry routine.

An important manual for the reptile breeder. This manual takes the reptile owner beyond the simple task of care into the subject of why to prevent and how to treat parasites in our reptiles. The manual explains in simple terms the complexities of reptile parasites. It goes into the how-to of fecal floats, parasite identification and treatments. It takes the mystery out of the vet's back room. One of the shortest yet most useful chapters is "Hygiene and the Herpetoculturist". An important read for all reptile keepers and breeders. Reptile & Amphibian Parasites by Eric M. Rundquist
Loaded with good information and practical, sensible, easy-to-apply advice. Great for beginners, but even the pros can learn a lot from them.
An introduction to noninfectious and nonparasitic diseases in free and captive wildlife, offering information on diseases, the effects of toxic substances, physiological disorders, and the traumas of free- ranging wildlife found in North America. This second edition covers new subjects including the effects of environmental estrogenic compounds, mycotoxins, petroleum toxicity, pesticides, and forensic investigational techniques. For students in wildlife biology and veterinary medicine.
Containing over 300 illustrations, this engaging study integrates information about the ecology, behaviour, morphology, and physiology of amphibians and reptiles, presenting topics in a phylogenetic and organismal context. An insightful collaboration between authors whose work has been instrumental in the development of such diverse specialities as molecular evolution, environmental physiology, and behavioural ecology, it shows amphibians and reptiles as vital organisms that represent a distinct and successful approach to studying terrestrial vertebrate life.
1999 edition updated to incorporate new concepts and interpretations of biology as they apply to herpetology and the evolutionary and classificatory perspectives of living amphibians and reptiles current in about mid-1999, and to introduce more concepts and associated examples and demonstrate different interpretations and uncertainties. Balancing the needs of advanced readers who want to know the references, and novice readers who want a flowing text, citations are kept to a minimum, and lists of recommended reading are provided at the end of the chapters
Probably the most comprehensive atlas of reptiles and amphibians, widely used in pet owners' as well as serious hobbyists' circles. It is arranged alphabetically by scientific name, while the index is arranged by common names. This generously illustrated book (mostly in color) provides general information on snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, toads, salamanders, food animals as well as other terrarium related topics. A must in every herpetoculturist's library.
Combining authoritative, easy-to-read essays with exciting illustrations and color photographs, this comprehensive encyclopedia covers all the diverse families of reptiles and amphibians, from chameleons to turtles to tree frogs.

The inclusion of their latest findings and interpretations sets this title apart.
O'Shea, curator of the reptile collection at the West Midlands (UK) Safari Park, and Halliday, who directs the Declining Amphibians Populations Task Force, have compiled an elegant field guide to 400 species of the world's reptiles and amphibians. Each entry provides an annotated color photograph, a map, and information on the species' key characteristics. An introductory section gives an overview of amphibian and reptile anatomy, reproduction, feeding habits, defenses, conservation, etc. The Encyclopedia of Reptiles and Amphibians by Tim Halliday, Kraig Adler
This attractive introduction to herpetology is the fourth volume in Facts on File's Animal Series. Major reptilian and amphibian groups are described in taxonomic order with accompanying world geographical distribution maps and excellent color photographs. Evolutionary theory is nicely interwoven throughout the work, along with significant anatomical, physiological, behavioral, and reproductive details. This sets the book apart from others of similar title that mainly catalogue the variety of reptile and amphibian species. Eighteen contributors and excellent editing have produced an authoritative text that with technical terminology kept to a minimum will be useful to a wide range of readers from YA through college. Highly recommended.
Over 250 short cases and questions at various levels of expertise for veterinarians, who are increasingly expected to treat reptiles and amphibians kept as pets, in collections, or used for research. Most are accompanied with high quality colour photographs that assist with the challenge of making differential diagnoses, treatment plans, and prognoses. Answers are also provided, and discuss the reasons, principles, and considerations. No bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Mattison opens his large-scale study of snakes (not an encyclopedia of snakes as the title suggests) with the scientific definition of the creature and how it differs from other reptiles. He then moves on to cover their taxonomy, morphology, habitats, diet, reproduction, and protective mechanisms. Especially interesting are the discussions of the snake's relationship with humans in myth and reality. Color photographs illustrate the discussion throughout. A field day for herpetologists and snake-loving readers.
Lizards of the World offers the general reader a complete introduction to these vestiges of the dinosaur era, which have been the subject of speculation and superstition for centuries and which continue to fascinate us with their remarkable diversity of form, color and behavior.

Countless pets are poisoned each year, either suffering a sudden illness or death or encountering toxins on a daily basis that erode their health slowly and shorten their lifespan. This helpful guide tells how to guard against both kinds of poisoning and explains how to identify and remove such causes as cleaning products, paint and varnish, fumes, certain houseplants, and more.
A comprehensive overview of the law as it applies to practitioners of veterinary medicine. Six chapters discuss the historical background of the law; malpractice and negligence issues; veterinary client relations including treatments of contract law, informed consent, and recovery of fees; issues related to practice such as boards of regulation, EPA and OSHA regulations, worker's compensation, the Sherman Antitrust Act, advertising, and zoning; animal protection laws; and public protection laws and regulations.
The life of a globetrotting animal doctor, ungussied and enthusiastic. This is not so much a memoir as a diary of five missions Karesh undertook in aid of rare wildlife. A veterinarian for the Wildlife Conservation Society, Karesh often finds himself in the remotest patches, there to work with indigenous people and the local political structure to determine the overall health of a wildlife population, train biologists, and do research on and minister to the animals.
Why are some frogs able to freeze solid and still survive? How can secretions from amphibians offer scientists clues for treating human ailments? What allows reptiles and amphibians to regenerate their limbs? Reptiles & Amphibians, an exciting new Explore Your World™ handbook, incorporates the Discovery Channel's unique authoritative approach and acclaimed visuals to answer these and other questions in a captivating blend of information and entertainment.
This is a real find. Even if they have zero interest in reptiles, anyone who has curiousity and a sense of humor would enjoy this little book. The writing style is a combination of Dennis Miller's sarcasm, Bill Nye the Science Guy's mix of facts and fun, Monty Python's surrealism, and a pinch of David Sedaris's self-deprecation. A great airplane or lazy day read. Makes a great stocking stuffer gift for the readers on my list. Most amazing is this book's artful blend of solid information, interestingly presented and wacky fun. Great colorful graphics, too, including paintings by Hieronymous Bosch, Ed Mell, Maynard Dixon and others. Godzilla makes a couple appearances, as well. |
