Green Iguana; The Ultimate Owner's Manual: Great reading!!A must for all Iguana owners.The author really did his homework and it's all in there. I give it five stars!
Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual: The best book about iguana care ever! Mr. Hatfield has made this book easy to read and loaded with information on the care requirements of green iguanas in great detail...from diet, housing, training and so much more! Not only,can you refer to this book, but also, Mr. Hatfield has extended an offer for a free anual news letter that he will be sending to everyone who has purchased his book...including up to date new info. on specific care, his travels and observation of iguanas in the wild, veterinary info. and more! He truly cares a great deal for these creatures as does everyone who purchases this book. The Ultimate Owner's Manual has more than twice as much information in it as the 3 iguana care books I already own! It is a MUST HAVE for anyone that is even considering owning a green iguana!
Great, but there is a better alternative.: Living in the Florida Keys we have dealt extensively with discarded Iguanas - perhaps 15 or more. People buy them, and get rid of them constantly - and down here, in the semi-tropics, they can survive (with difficulty)in the wild. Hatfield's book is good, but expensive. For about the same price you can get the excellent "Iguanas for Dummies" by Melissa Kaplan (she has long term, extensive personal experience with the animals, & maintains a website that is designed to help pet owners and potential iguana buyers - not just for selling books. You can also add "What's Wrong with My Iguana" by John Rossi M.A., D.V.M. and "Understanding Reptile Parasites" by Roger Klingenberg D.V.M. -it depends where you shop, and how detailed you want to get. You will have far more information (by getting the three less expensive titles) for the money. If money is no object, get them all. We liked Hatfield's book, but he has apparently raised only one iguana - extremely well - and the rest is research. Kaplan's book is based on research & a lot of personal experience. The experience shows through - there are tidbits of information that have been useful to us that we have not found elsewhere. If you get Kaplan's book or Hatfield's before you buy an iguana you will definately be doing yourself and your animal a favor. Hopefully, the book will talk you out of getting an iguana if you are somebody who is looking for an easy, inexpensive pet. We love the animals, but based on the rejections we've seen down here, and the complexity of raising the animals correctly, we would never recommend them for pets. Whatever book you get, you will still need to find a good vet., and that is not easy. Things go wrong with iguanas that are not covered with specificity in any of these books. We have been unfortunate enough to encounter them.
GREEN IGUANA The Ultimate Owner's Manual: THIS BOOK IS GREAT! IT'S THE BEST AND MOST IMFORMATIVE BOOK I'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND! IT CONTAINS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CARING FOR YOUR IGUANA. A REALLY "MUST HAVE" FOR IGUANA OWNERS.
Best book on iguanas ever!: If you really love iguanas, this is the book for you....more substance than fluff. I own many iguana books and have kept iguanas for over 10 years now. There are a lot of horrible books out there and only a few worth buying. This book is a GREAT one! It is thick, informative, entertaining, and accurate. Not only is it packed full of helpful research and care information, but it has a lot of stories from other iguana owners giving you an insight into the intelligence and range of personalities you will find in this wonderful, majestic reptile.
