Henkel and Schmidt geckos books - same?

[HaikuDan]

Anyone know if these are different editions of the same book?

Geckoes: Biology, Husbandry, and Reproduction (Krieger, 1995)
Geckos: All Species (Chimaira, 2003)

Thanks,
Dan

Hi!
These are two completely different books. I have them both and they are both good books.

Ther older one has more keeping and breeding info, but covers lower number of species and has far less photos.

The newer one is very interesting, mostly because it contains lists of all gecko species arranged by genus with many photos (quite a lot of rarely seen species). This section covers about two thirds of the book. It has less keeping and breeding info though.

Regards, Matjaz

Thanks for the response. I have the 2003 "Geckos: All Species" book but wanted to make sure the 1995 Geckoes book was different before I bought it.

I really like "Geckos: All Species", both for the number and quality of photos, and for the text content.
