Newts and Salamanders (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) Paperback – Illustrated, March 1, 2010

This is a small basic identification book with informative text and nice, clear photo illustrations of our more common salamanders. I needed pictures of a particular salamander for a painting I'm working in and this book had just what I needed. It us a good basic, beginners guide not overwhelming but informative.

"Newts and Salamanders" has plenty of worthwhile information from a true expert, plus many excellent photographs and great drawings. This book is the way it should be done. I have read many animal care books over the years and this one is right on the mark. This book confirmed that my two Tiger Salamanders are getting proper care but I also picked up a few hints regarding feeding and cage decoration that will make it even better for them. I want to emphasize the quality of this book, in the writing, the artistic choice of photographs, and the drawings sprinkled throughout the book. The book actually FEELS good and uses high quality paper. This book is guaranteed a permanent spot on my shelf of pet care books.

excellent book and really cheap. it was written many years ago but everything Barron talks about with the different species still wrings absolutely true today. full color photographs too

This book was helpful when I decided to keep a newt because I was able to find out what I could feed it. It did not give information about a few of the species pictured in the book, but for a beginner there is information about feeding and housing that is useful.

This is not the best book about newts and salamanders, butit is very very ok if you look to the price up there!!Lot of nice images, ideas and some diseases info. I liked.

no point anyore i bout to give up on this hole "newt" thing.

まあまあかな。まあまあかな。それなりかな。というかんじかな？
