Crested Geckos in Captivity
CRESTED GECKOS in CAPTIVITY by Robbie Hamper
The Crested Gecko, Rhacodactylus ciliatus, is one of six species and two subspecies in the genus Rhacodactylus. In nature, these wonderful, robust geckos live in the mysterious forests of New Caledonia. Despite being introduced into reptile keeping in 1994, the Crested Gecko has quickly become one of the most exciting animals available to reptile hobbyists. It has proven to be a hardy species and one of the easiest to maintain and breed in captivity. Since the Crested Gecko is rapidly becoming popular with reptile enthusiasts, and many of these enthusiasts are new to the hobby, all aspects of keeping and breeding healthy specimens are presented in this book. In this updated version of Crested Geckos in Captivity, reptile breeder Robbie Hamper presents insight into the captive care of Rhacodactylus leachianus, Rhacodactylus auriculatus, and information on the other exciting geckos in this genus.

Only missing a star because it's a little out of date, but the majority of the information provided is still relevant, and this is a good option even for modern-day beginner Crestie keepers. The notes at the end on each of the other Rhacodactylus species were interesting and the photos were beautiful and helpful for comparison between male & female, etc.
Getting the history on Repashy's beginning was a neat little surprise bonus, as well.

Overall this is a good reference for crested gecko care, though there are a few typos in the Kindle edition and the information gets repetitive if you read straight through it. That's a perk if you're looking for a specific bit of information or a refresher, though, because it means you don't have to go skipping all over the book.

Because it some good parts and some bad parts the good news is that it was awesome the bad part is that it has pictures it should be a chapter books instead of a picture book
