Aussie Gecko Book

[strikedistance]

Does anyone recomend any books for either Aussie or New Zealand Geckos. I am really thinking on getting into breeding them. I've had many geckos but Aussie would have to be the coolest i have ever seen. Fields guides would also be apreciated. Thank you,
Bruce

Hi Bruce ~

Check out www.geckoworld.net. Under the Literature forum there is a "Sticky" entitled "The GOOD Book List". All the entries there are worth checking out. Scroll down to the last post, the one I made, which lists excellent resources on New Zealand geckos!!!

At the Hamm show I bought a very nice book about the reptiles of Queensland, written by Steve Wilson. It's absolutely worth the few bucks (32 Euro).

Also the book "a complete guide of reptiles of Australia", by Wilson and Swan is worth it.

Both those books above are our best current field guides. Unfortunately there is still no perfect book. What species were you particularly chasing info on. I might have those chapters written for my book and I could swing you a sneak peek in exchange for a proofread and a critique.

You have your own book coming out Dan? Awesome!!! Would think yours would be great to read!

Its one of those recurring nightmares that I keep promising my publisher I will finish. This off season, I promise.

I was looking in to Phyllurus, Saltuarius, Strophurus, Oedura, and Naltinus. Those are basically the main areas i want to fucus on. Naltinus if i can ever get that kind of cash. Thank you for kind generosity for a sneek peek :wink:

Pm your email address. I have the Strophurus one ready. It will be published in Reptiles Australia Mag next issue. Last issue was Diplodactylus.
