Help!

that is a great book, 200$ though, but Santa don't need to pay right? Elfs are already wrapping it in their workshop for my other half, apparently he was good this year lol

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...

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.
