Books on Chameleons?

[broderp]

I'm looking for two books:

• I'm looking for informative books on Chams that explore the physical characteristics, skeletal, nervous system and other aspects of the biology. I see several books that seem to be geared towards care and breeding, but nothing about the science behind the animal.
• I'm also hunting down a good book over chameleon behavior that covers raising and feeding as well as common illnesses. A "Guide Book" if you will.

I've come across these, can anyone recommend any of these or another book that would suit my needs?

Crap, for a moment I thought I was at the university book store picking out course books for a class..... $$$$

I would love to get the first book, I will search for it on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. At $60 it's a bit pricey, but a good read/ study. Thanks for the suggestions!

You may want to try ABE Books, Half.com, or some of the actual on-line college bookstores for a used version of it. I have three of the books you listed, and while each has some good information, none of them has exactly what I 'm looking for on supplementation by species and life stage, diseases, recognition of vitamin deficiency, etc. So far I've spent around $40 on used books anyway, so I probably should have just spent $60.for something like this in the first place to get what I need. Just a thought!

I've read both books I listed more than once and do refer to them both when I need to.

Thanks! I'll check them out and see if it's for me. I can't stand reading on a computer screen or even a tablet. I'm old so I'm old school, I like to have a BOOK in my hand!

I recommend "Chameleons: Nature's Hidden Jewels" by J. Croom. This book offers an in-depth look at Cham biology, including aspects of physiology, skeleton, and nervous system.

 

[kinyonga]

By J. Croom? Not by Petr Necas?

It’s a must have for your book collection, in my opinion

To understand their behavior and care, "The Chameleon Handbook" by P. Whiteker may be helpful - it covers the topics of rearing, feeding and disease. I think she's the best. I once wrote about this using narrative essay topics, found personal narrative ideas for an essay for this. I also recommend “Chameleons: Their Care and Breeding” by L. Trapp. This book discusses the physical aspects of chamakh. But the first one will definitely be better!

Thank you, I didn't have to look for it myself.

Wow, I thought I had to buy those books. But I am glad to know that I can read them for free. I appreciate you, you made my day. I recently discovered ezeewallet casino and it's now my go-to platform for real-money gambling. The seamless transactions using their electronic wallet have truly enhanced my gaming experience. With a growing number of eZeeWallet casinos, it's clear that they are becoming a trusted choice for players looking for a hassle-free and secure way to manage their funds.
