Tortoises: A Comprehensive Guide to Russian Tortoises, Leopard Tortises, and More

Good, easy to read guide to Tortoise Care!

Best inexpensive tortoise book I’ve come across, very informative and easy to understand.

ok

This is the most detailed and carefully written book on tortoises I have come across so far. The author seems to be very knowledgeable without being dogmatic. After reading it I now know that there is not ONE single way of being a responsible tortoise owner. The author gives the pros and cons on almost every issue without telling the reader how she/he has to handle their tortoises. That is great since it allows for modifications according to one's individual situation without having the feeling of doing something wrong. Other books usually tell either only what is right or what is wrong without giving the alternative. This author gives examples and according to them one can judge for oneself whether this is the best, better, worse or worst way to house, to feed, to care for one's particular tortoise.What this book cannot provide, of course, is an in-depth treatise of every single species. That is why it is still merely an overview. For details and specific answers to my questions I needed to consult my vet.

This was a very thorough, enjoyable all encompassing book solely about totoises n turtles. The husbandry guides are were researched.
