Progress of book My book is completed and the first revive is done. I spent a lot of time on it – but on the other hand – it gave me a lot of excitement. All chapters of this web site have been reorganized and updated with additional information., e. g. , the chapter REPRODUCTION gives the breeder many new instructions and insights for a successful hatching.
It is on its way to California for a second review by Karl Switak, a very experienced herpetologist.
