Ok, I will say a little more later, last night after the debate about how thorough it is started, I pulled out Davis's book and this book side by side and looked through both. I realized that when I said that this book was weak on the husbandry, I was kind of implicitly comparing it to Davis's book.
I do like this book. I have really only payed attention to the veiled section. Each species does get its own section this is true...... but there is quite a bit of overlap. That is, off the top of my head, all three basically say the same thing about enclosures give or take some details(I will confirm this later). So if these authors had condensed this information and handled the exceptions on a case by case basis, those long sections would probably not look as impressive.
I feel the overwhelming strength of this book is how they tie the proper husbandry for each species to the species' native habitat (I am not saying that with any kind of authority mind you, I am speaking soley from the perspective of my own confidence in their strategies and the helpfulness of the information received).
Things like specifics on gutloading and supplimentation are not covered in great depth as I recall. Mentioned yes, but its very general statements.
I'll say more in a little bit.
