5.0 out of 5 stars The Green Iguana - The Ultimate Owners Manual, 10 Jun 2006

By	D. Pendlebury "Reptile Enthusiast" (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual (Paperback)

Absolutely Brilliant!
This book is written in very easy to read style.
You can open the book at any point and read the at a glance section to clarify what you will read in the chapter.
There are some stunning photographs too.
The book has all the information you need to be able to care for your Iguana, including choosing your iguana, husbandry, feeding,taming and psychology and also a section on illnesses.
It also has a number of quotations by Iguana keepers, allowing you to "learn through their mistakes".
If you want to learn to care for a Green Iguana, then this is the only book you will ever need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Green Iguana - The Ultimate Owner's Manual, 13 Jan 2003

By	Jonathan Oakes (UK) - See all my reviews

This is a large book. But extremely readable. It provides a wealth of information on how to care for this wonderful and much maligned animal. I particularly liked the comments made by other iguana owners on what they did - both right and wrong. All the time though, the author has the well being of the animal as the prime concern.
The photos were interesting but I would have liked more. Iguanas are so variable in terms of size, colour, behaviour it is helpful to see a wide cross section of animals illustrated.
I would have been interested in more of the authors experiences of seeing igs in the wild.
It must have been very taxing to write a book which discourages iguana ownership (which is important) while at the same time he obviously could not help waxing lyrical about their merits.
Everyone who walks into a pet shop to purchase an iguana for the first time should be forced to buy this book at the same time. (Whether pet shops should sell iguanas is an arguement for another day).
It does not really deal with the challenges of taking on rescued igs, but the background information is useful in this respect.
It is frustrating that the two best iguana hanbooks (this one and 'Iguanas for Dummies'), are both American. There is a need for a manual that deals with particularly British problems - like the lack of sunshine, difficulty finding greens in the winter, and the differences in veterinary care.
To conclude, though, an excellent book which is current, well researched, readable and may well help to stem the number of iguanas that die needlessly

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Iguana book ever!, 7 May 2000

By A Customer

The general quality of books about iguanas is very low, often they contain outdated or simply wrong information, which eventually could lead to fatal conditions for your iguana. Therefore it is great to discover this book which contain updated information, extremely well written by James Hatfield. His love, dedication as well as expertise for these animal shines trough all chapters in this book.

The one thing that i am really really sorry about, is that i did'n found this book many years ago, since me and my iguana (�jvind) also was a victim of uninformed veterinarians/pet shops/authors, and now it is too late since it died yesterday.... :-<<<

My (eventually) next iguana will benefit from this book and hopefully (and more likely) have a lot better life than �jvind - Rest In Peace, your pain is over. /Jeppe
