A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Vivarium: Being a Practical Guide to the Construction, Arrangement, and Management of Vivaria, Containing Full Information as to All Reptiles Suitable as Pets, How and Where to Obtain Them, and How to Keep Them in Health

Up to the present time there has been no reliable work on the management of the many attractive batrachians, reptiles, etc., that can be readily kept in confinement. Yet there are no more charming and interesting pets than such as can be included in an amateurs Vivarium. For these reasons this book has been written, and readers may rely on the information given in the following pages being the outcome of practical experience, the result of my having kept these interesting and extraordinary animals for very many years.

For information concerning some of the animals of which this book treats I am much indebted to the writings of Dr. Günther, Mr. Boulenger, Dr. Stradling, and others, and to the obliging keeper of the Reptile House at the Zoological Gardens, London, Mr. J. Tyrrell.
