Why Order This eBook
(a message from the author):
"It is said that about 80%
of medical problems of reptiles are the result of bad
husbandry. I've personally witnessed hundreds of people
having problems keeping Bearded dragons. We have seen them
all, from incorrect husbandry (i.e. lighting,
supplementation, temperature, veggies and unnecessary
exposure) right through to really diseased individuals. It
is true, most of the problems were due to incorrect keeping. We've
been on call from our websites and literally helped hundreds
of keepers, both experienced and novice in the the right
direction.
A big problem we've encountered over the years
was the fact that it is not always the keeper not knowing
how to maintain their Beardies, but keepers being told
nonsense from the start! Bearded dragons are extremely hardy
and loyal pets, but they can only take so much.
Unfortunately we only hear those problems weeks to months
later when it is too late to reverse the symptoms. A lot of
these animals are incurable and they die! I've written this
eBook specifically with these preventable problems and other
frequently asked questions in mind. By reading this book you
will not only exactly know how to care for your beloved pet,
but you will also know how to prevent problems only seen a
long way down the line."
