The Green Iguana Manual: From the Experts at Advanced Vivarium Systems (CompanionHouse Books) Includes: Choosing an Iguana, Diet and Housing, Breeding and Health, Other Iguanas

Got this book for a friend who rescued a Green Iguana, from the middle of a street! It was a good resource, and helped her to work with the Iguana. She did have an ID on her, the prior owner was contacted and Rosie had a history of running away from home, and hard to keep. My friend took her to a vet, build an Iguana cage for her, and then found a new home with an owner who had other Iguanas. The book was a good resource for someone who had never had an Iguana.

Recently I began thinking of purchasing an iguana for myself, I owned one 30 years ago and am I ever glad I bought this book because things have sure changed with their care! Great read, simply put information!

This book is not an iguana beginners book, but an advanced reference in learning more deeply about the physical and behavioral aspects of the green iguana. In having owned 2 iguanas, there are a lot of interesting facts and trivia to learn about these magnificent creatures. The information in this book takes you a step above simple ownership.

This is my first green iguana and i wanted a simple book that would tell me everything i need to know so i can take care of him properly and this book does just that. easy reading but extremly informative. i love it and highly recommend it.

Good service. It is not the last time i order some things from this store. And i will recommends this store to my friends.

This book is the most useful on the market for iguana owners both new and experienced. It presents information that is accurate, precise and complete. As a veterinarian board certified in nutrition and internal medicine, who has published on the growth of iguanas and on dietary protein and kidney function in mammals, I can vouch that the presentation of protein nutrition is up-to-date and correct (see Journal of Nutrition, 1998, and elsewhere). I agree with de Vosjoli's recommendations on diet and feeding. This book is a must read for all owners of the green iguana.

I have not read this book, and if it actually suggests feeding animal protein, (meat), to your Iguana I wouldn't bother. It was written in the early 90's when sound Iguana dietary needs were still being re formulated.There's probably still allot of sound advice in the book, just weigh it with up to date information like Melissa Kaplan's Iguana's for dummies, or James Hatfield's Green Iguana The Ultimate Owner's Manual. Or check out the Green Iguana Society, on the net. It's free and there are hundreds of other Iguana keepers to talk to.

The Green Iguana Manual by Philippe De Vosjoli is often recommended by pet owners and veterinarians. However, the nutritional information is out of date. Animal protein in any amount is no longer recommended in iguana diets, including diets for juveniles. Following this manual for nutrition information could mean your iguana ends up with kidney and/or liver failure and a shortened lifespan. Please see the 1996 edition of Reptile Medicine and Surgery for iguana diet information.

I really like this series of books. Fantastic starting point for new owners to read and build the foundations of their knowledge

as described many thanks

Informative.
