Help!

WOW!!! 200 bucks? No wonder the husbandry and care is lacking in the hobby. These idiots are selling the information for 200 dollars. Lame!

This is where I realize how grateful I am to those of you who actually care about the hobby and are willing to pass on knowledge with no strings attached. Griff, Lija, DVirginia, Mike, all of those who i forgot....lol. You guys are awesome.

I respect most Herpetologists, but I don't know why so many of them become blow hard jack a$$es who are more worried about thier egos than to help the Herpetoculturalists who truly enjoy the hobby. Anyway....stepping off my soap box. Going to buy a 200 dollar book

see.... I used emoticons....that's how you know i'm pissed...

Writing and publishing books is how the make money without a grant

That book is for vets, written in very professional language and information is also very specific. 200$ is ok price for that type of literature. Usually they are in 100-200-300$ range.

I think I paid 135.00 for my copy, soon after release. Books never die, but frogs do. Would you ever spend 200.00 on a frog?
You do not have to purchase it, just borrow from a library.

and photocopy it....good call!!! lol

one of you smarty pants (making up for my own lack of knowledge by being condescending...lol) should seriously write up a basic care and medicine book geared toward the hobby and not the science and get it published. All of your responses from the price, to the revelation that this is a textbook fall into my gripe that good info is not readily available in book form for Ceratophrys/Pyxicephalus/amphibians etc. on a whole.

A new book should be writen focusing on husbandry and care with the added breeding techniques, but that's a lot of info and a lot of time piling it together.

NO photocopying. (unlawfull), borrow and read.
While I am in agreement that pertinate information is currently in-adequate for some, ( as it will always be ) , others gain from what is actually avialable.
