Like other popular pet species such as the Leopard Gecko, the Crested Gecko, the Ball Python, the Cornsnake, and a few others, that are being bred in such numbers that it is being genetically manipulated for color, temperament, and even size.

Crocodilians have always fascinated us. The movies we watch portray them as giant, man-eating monsters, waiting for an unsuspecting victim to go too close to the water's edge. I think that this misrepresentation in the movies makes crocodilians even more tempting as pets in the same way the baby Velociraptor appealed to the public in the movie Jurassic Park.

Crocodilians are being sold as pets more now than ever before. For many years, alligators were protected and unavailable to the pet trade. Now that alligators have become available, their sector of the reptile market has had a large surge and more are now being kept as pets than ever before.

Crocodilians in Captivity will help people make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase a crocodilian as a pet. This excellent book, filled with captive care tips and an individual species in the world, will fill the void in herp literate of good, easily accessible care and maintenance information on crocodilians.

Volume 7 of the TERRALOG Series portrays the Agamid Lizards of Southern Asia in two parts. The present first part is an illustration of the subfamily Draconinae, which will be completed in Part 2 that will also then cover the subfamily Leiolepidinae. The present treatise contains color photographs of several species that have never before been pictured in color and most are depicted in a manner to outline their sexual dichromatism. Photographs of juveniles, various natural habitats, as well as some as of yet undescribed species complement the photographic collection. A symbol-based summary of the individual biological requirement is meant to provide a guideline for the husbandry and propagation of the individual species.

Its wealth of over 530 color photos makes TERRALOG the photographic reference for both scientists and herpetoculturists. At the same time, it is a unique synopsis that enables every lover of nature to marvel at the colorful splendor and variability of Southern Asian Agamids in a manner second to none. This book is the ultimate identification and field guide for all existing Agamid Lizards of Southern Asia. Hardcover, 160 pages.

This book provides a wealth of new and old information about all aspects of crocodilians (evolution, taxonomy, physiology, anatomy, behavior, ecology, feeding, attacks on humans, conservation, management, sustainable use), and will be of extreme value to anyone with a professional or amateur interest in crocodilians. The first hand experience and new knowledge about captive husbandry will be invaluable to those with an interest in this area. What makes this book particularly special is that in addition to the authors being experts in crocodilian science, which they compile and present with great clarity, they are all experienced keepers of crocodilians. This growing interest group, united by the enjoyment of caring for and being close to crocodilians, is rapidly becoming a key player in general research and more importantly, in the conservation of wild crocodilian populations threatened with extinction. The energy and commitment within this growing cadre of people is remarkable. They value crocodilians for new reasons, but because they value them, they put resources into their conservation. With over 430 photos and 646 pages, this book is a monumental achievement to be found nowhere else! Hardcover.
