Books?

[zmb187]

Hi,So soon to be first time Veiled owner!!!!So I've been doing research,but guess not enough,so I was planning on getting books on the subject.This is the list of books I found so far.

Chameleons: Their Care and Breeding

Essential Care of Chameleons (Advanced Vivarium Systems)

Jackson's and Veiled Chameleons: Facts & Advice on Care and Breeding (Reptile Keeper's Guide)

Care & Breeding of Chameleons (the Herpetocultural Library)

Chameleons: Everything About Selection, Care, Nutrition, Diseases, Breeding, and Behavior (Barron's Pet Owner's Manuals)

The New Chameleon Handbook: Everything About Selection, Care, Diet, Disease, Reproduction, and Behavior (Barron's Pet Owner's Manuals)

Essential Care of Chameleons

does anyone have more books in mind that I should get?

WOW! Are you buying all those? There is a lot of information on line you could print off. I have the Chameleon Handbook (not the new one) and 2 dated 1990 both by Philippe de Vosjoli for the Herpetocultural Library.They are The General Care and Maintenance of True Chameleons Part 1 Husbandry and Part II Notes on Popular species Diseases and Disorders.

I just flipped through the Chameleon Handbook and found that there are many things that we now do different then when the book was written. Please be leary of outdated books.

Good for yoU!
IMHO reading a variety of books and websites will give you well rounded information on which to base your decisions.

Buying CURRENT books is a good idea.
Check the bookstore on this site for some that are worth having.

Of readily available books my favorite is:

Authors: Gary Ferguson, Kenneth Kalisch and Sean McKeown

The Veiled section is written by Ken Kalisch

I've got Chameleons, Nature's hidden jewels by Petr Nečas. It's not a cheap book but very informative and covers from what I can tell just about every Chameleon known to man.
