I bought this book because I own a juvenile Green Iguana, and I wanted to gain more knowledge about these intriguing creatures to enrich my experience. I found everything I was looking for in Mellssa Kaplan's book, from understanding iguana behavior/body language, to proper nutrition and enclosure construction/maintenance. The author has wealth in both the study of, and personal experience with, green iguanas. I was especially interested in the all-important subject of taming or "socializing" iguanas. The hazards of owning a feral or somewhat tame iguana are real, causing unavoidable stress and, even injury, to both lizard and handler. Very straight forward and insightful, this is not a book in sync with the "exotic pet" craze popular here and there. Not every pet is good for every pet owner. Read this book to get you off on the right start, or add to your collection of herp wisdom.Read full review
I really like this book , it gives you a lot of good information about the wonderful creature that is the green iguana. I love that the information is simplied, easy to follow,and straight to the point. I have owned iguanas for many years and I still use this book as a quick reference book. All in all if you're looking for a simple basic iguana care book, than this is your best bet. For more advanced information I would suggest: Green Iguana The Ultimate Owner's Manual by James Hatfield.
Melissa Kaplan is such an expert in the care and keeping of iguanas as pets. Melissa Kaplan also has a Yahoo Group called Iguana Mail that is a great resource as well for iguana owners. The Yahoo Group can be found here http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/IguanaMail Mary in Camden, MI
