Description

Reviews

Dr. Bechtel's book is the first published on the subject of reptile and amphibian variations that occur naturally or through selective breeding.  The text contains enough basic biology to help the reader understand the discussion of the various mutations.  These animals with conspicuously altered colors and patterns are often quite beautiful.  The rarer and more bizarre anomalies and mutations are described in this fascinating book which opens a window on this developing and complex field of inquiry.  Profusely illustrated with 223 color photographs, this book covers an arcane subject from the author's personal perspective.

"Anyone interested in amphibians and reptiles will find this attractive book worthwhile." -- E.D. Keiser, CHOICE, February 1996.

"If you are into breeding the odd varieties of herps, this book is a MUST for your library." -- Douglas W. Eggleston, Blue Ridge Herpetological Society

"This book would be a useful supplement in herpetology courses." -- J. Whitfield Gibbons, Copeia
