Chameleons: Nature's Hidden Jewels

by Petr Necas

The English language edition of Chameleons was revised and translated from the very successful German language edition published in 1995. It introduces chameleons in all their beauty and curiosity and puts together a mosaic of "Chamaeleonology" through individual chapters written on the basis of modern herpetology and herpetoculture. This book is partly a compilation of published information and partly a summary of unpublished data from various breeders, biologists, and veterinarians, with the author's view reflected on each particular topic. A complete bibliography containing a majority of available literature on chameleons is also included, along with more than 280 color photos and 45 black and white drawings and photos. "This book will always be remembered as a launching pad for all future work in the realm of chameleon research and the adventures we have, whether in the forest or the living room, with this diverse family of these saurian gems" (from the Foreword by Ronald L. Tremper).
