Incubation of Reptile Eggs: Basics, Guidelines, Experiences

It's an old book but fill my expectations, there are little more information out there and more actualized. It was a good one book in that time.

This book undertakes a huge task. Basic incubation information is all there, but when it comes to breaking things down based on lineage, species coverage is terribly lop-sided.Snake eggs scarcely get a page of specific coverage, with pythons getting about that much again. Leopard geckos and fat-tailed geckos are not distinguished from one another or from other gecko species (which is suprising considering the many temperature-dependent effects leopards can experience during incubation), while day geckos and a few other groups get their own respective sections. The groups of turtles that are addressed seem unbalanced. Monitors can be notoriously difficult to incubate, and are not covered in enough detail.There is an appendix that lists known incubation parameters for many species - I don't know of this information being previously available in any book aimed at pet keepers.Overall, most everyone can pick up something from this book. For a hardback of its size and content, it is well-priced. Your reptile rearing library won't be near complete without "Reptilian Incubation" (Deeming, 2004), but the price and academic nature of that title will regrettably deter many, despite the fact that its content warrants it to be much sought after - moreso than "Incubation of Reptile Eggs."

great book. It is a must for reptile keepers wanting to know about reptile egg incubation

This was just the information I needed.Thanks
