"Melissa's trademark combination of research and humor is a recipe for happier, healthier iguanas and iguana owners. Her extensive experience with and fondness for these complex creatures is everywhere evident." Sue L. Solomon, Wildlife Rehabilitator, Reptile Rescue, Educator |
For years, iguana keepers have been asking if I have written a book on iguana care. Well, now I can say, "Yes, I did!" Iguanas for Dummies® is for anyone who has or is thinking about getting an iguana. Readers who put into practice the information included in this book will find themselves sharing their lives with healthy, robust iguanas. The book includes information in addition to what has been available at my website in the convenient, organized format of the successful Dummies® series.

"As a scientist, I am impressed by the depth of its research. As a pet owner, I am impressed by the practical knowledge this book displays. As a writer, I am impressed by this book's clarity. It is fun to read, loaded with clear information, and packed with extremely perceptive advice." Kathryn W. Tosney, Ph.D. Professor of Biology, The University of Michigan
| Iguanas for Dummies is a book both for those who are thinking about getting an iguana and for those who have had iguanas through the years but not had much luck with taming them or keeping them healthy (or alive!). This book will also be useful for the iguana owner who isn't such a beginner, but who is looking for ways to improve their care practices, make their iguana's life more interesting and comfortable, and just be a better iguana parent.

"Kaplan understands the complex biology and natural history of iguanas as well as anyone I know. Kaplan covers iguanas in captivity in a style that is concise, comprehensive, accurate, and focused on common issues seen by iguana owners. If you get only one book on iguanas as pets, this is the one to choose." Stephen L. Barten, DVM; herpetological veterinarian, speaker, author
"With humor, intelligence and an astounding eye for detail, Melissa Kaplan urges her readers to 'do right by your iguana.' So much more than a simple 'care' book, Iguanas for Dummies is a blueprint for compassionate and responsible ownership." Tracy Basile, Features Editor, ASPCA Animal Watch, free-lance author |
