    Recommendations for a good books on crested geckos?

    It looks like my 12-year old son will probably be getting a crested gecko in the next few weeks, and we want to be prepared. I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some good books on crested geckos and their care?

    I'm not sure on books, but this site has a great care sheet. You could always ask members here and email breeders with any questions

    The Collection (Combined with a friends)

    1.0 Pastel Ball Python
    0.1 Cinnamon Ball Python
    0.0.1 Normal Ball Python

    3.0.2 Crested Geckos

    The best book I've found is, Rhacodactylus: The Complete Guide to Their Selection and Care, by de Vosjoli et al.

    It is not just about crested geckos, but that makes it all the more interesting.

    Thanks for the input, everyone. We ended getting a book specific to crested geckos by that same author, Philippe de Vosjoli. Once we get through it, we will go gecko shopping. We recently met a gecko breeder that lives nearby and hope to get something pretty nice from her.
