Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity

"Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity" by Tom R. Johnson is a scientific guide from the mid-1970s that teaches people how to properly care for amphibians and reptiles they keep as pets. It addresses how little information was available for pet owners and provides owners with necessary instructions to take care of the animals. The book looks closely at different kinds of amphibians and reptiles, like salamanders, frogs, turtles, lizards, and snakes. It tells readers about where they live in nature and what they need to stay healthy. Each part gives advice about how to house, feed, and care for these animals. The book stresses how important it is to be aware of what each kind of animal needs. It even warns against keeping certain animals that are hard to care for or in danger, in efforts to promote animal ownership and conservation.
