A Little Basic May 28, 2008 Jeremy S. Blanchard This book is good for basic information regarding the construction of terrariums and vivariums, but really wasn't what I was looking for. There were only a couple bits of useful information that I hadn't already found through searching the Internet. I have yet to find a good, detailed book dealing with the complexities of constructing a vivarium. All that I have read including this book cover only the simplest of concepts.
Short but good November 17, 2007 Jeffrey Myers (Concord, ca USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a pretty good book for the price. It is a little too heavily oriented towards the reptiles only. I would have liked to see more vivarium information. Some information, like not to use magnolia leaves, is just plain wrong. Also, there is nothing on background construction.
Best that I've ever found. August 3, 2007 Terrarium Girl (USA) 15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I'll be brief: I recently bought and read this book because I am building a new, elaborate terrarium. As a reference, this book is the best I've ever encountered. As a read-able book, it's also top notch. You would not think that moss could be interesting, but this book makes it so. Don't waste your money on books by Bartlett or Walls (anyone who reads herp books will know those guys know their stuff, but not like this!). If you're going to buy a terrarium book (discusses deserts, jungles, watery environs, etc. from beginner level to VERY advanced tricks and tactics), make this the one!!! You will NOT be disappointed.
