An excellent guide for both beginners and somewhat more knowledgeable turtle caretakers. Filled with beginner's level information, as well as more in depth tips and a guide to where to find out more.

Read the library copy, liked this book well enough to order my own when it came time to return it!

This book was very clear and informative. At the same time the author did not try and dumb down certain ideas needed for turtle care. A must read for any herp lover that plans to own an aquatic or terrestrial turtle.
