Some of the topics covered include Bearded dragon care, anatomy, biology, the purchasing, handling and feeding of these animals. It also includes detailed information on the correct and different methods of Bearded dragon housing, a comprehensive zoology section where Beardies are seen in their natural environments, loads of feedstuffs with recipes that can be fed to both Beardies and feeder crickets, correct supplementation, Bearded dragon legislation, cricket breeding, Bearded dragon breeding and incubator setup, major Bearded dragon health issues, basic emergency care, import, quarantine and biosecurity and many more.
Although The Advanced Bearded Dragon Manual is written with advanced topics and explanations, it is still written in simple plain English! I still wanted to make it easy and fun to read. It contains basic, understandable explanations, logically laid out or in step-by-step fashion.
The Advanced Bearded Dragon is currently available for a mere $32 (regular price U$36.00)
