Mini Encyclopedia of Bearded Dragons, by Chris Mattison is the eleventh book in the series. Other subjects include chickens, guinea pigs, Koi, dogs, rabbits, aquarium fish and ponds.

 

 

Mini Encyclopedia of Bearded Dragons will fascinate and educate those interested in keeping lizards as pets and make a valuable reference book for years to come. The images in the book are enticing and the text comprehensive and totally up to date. The RRP for Mini Encyclopedia of Bearded Dragons is £9.99.

 

The Mini Encyclopedia books are small but chunky with 208 pages and 500 colour photographs. They measure 185mm x 157mm, are paper backed and have a real contemporary look. The series represents the ideal compromise in a world where shelf space is limited, but thirst for knowledge increases every day.

 

Mini Encyclopedia of Bearded Dragons is split into two parts. The first chapter provides a background on habitats, appearance, behaviour, diet and breeding. Moving on this section also discusses choosing a dragon lizard, creating the environment, feeding, healthcare and breeding. Readers will soon learn why certain species of dragon lizard are fast becoming popular family pets.

 

Part two of this Mini Encyclopedia is made up of species profiles. Each lizard profile covers a double page with an image and information on availability, life in the wild, care in captivity and breeding. The main focus for this section is bearded dragons, but there are also sections on forest and water dragons, ground and rock agamas, dab lizards and butterfly agamas. Readers will learn about popular lizards such as the Thai water dragon as well as rare species such as the Flying Lizard and the large (up to one meter) Sailfin Lizard.
