This inexpensive book is informative and enjoyable. Reviewer: Tyler M.
“An illustration is worth a thousand words and the combination of pictures, illustrations and practical knowledge makes this an excellent book for both the new pet owner and serious hobbyists. I recommend books to new pet owners on a regular basis at our web site. Hartmut Wilke’s books are among our favorite suggested references for general care. This book is no exception.”

Turtles and Tortoises : Caring for Them, Feeding Them, Understanding Them (Family Pet Series)
Hartmut Wilke, M. Heimter; Hardcover
Usually ships in 2-3 days”This book is the newest version of Wilke’s work which has splendid photographs and goes well beyond the above mentioned book, but sadly the illustrations are not as powerful or as plentiful as his previous book.. This would have been the Perfect starter book had the illustrations been of the caliber of his last book. I was surprised that the Sulcata tortoise was not really mentioned in this book but none the less, Turtle Times recommends this as the must have starter book” – Tyler M.
