This work is part of a two-volume set that provides a guide to all known families of lizards, outlining the geographical distribution along with the natural habitats and lifestyles for each species. Volume Two examines crocodile lizards, gila monsters, legless lizards, plated lizards, sungazers, skinks, night lizards, tuataras and crocodilians. Drawing on the firsthand experiences of herpetological enthusiasts, the book details: husbandry practices for feeding; administering vitamin and mineral supplements; breeding; and setting up, heating, lighting and maintaining vivaria. Descriptions and colour photographs illustrate physical characteristics of the lizards.
