Designer Reptiles and Amphibians by R.D. Bartlett and P. Bartlett

By Christina Miller - Herptiles.net (http://www.herptiles.net)

1996. Barron's Educational Series. 95 pages. ISBN: 0764117068.

Although Bartlett and Bartlett have published some decent books on reptiles and amphibians, I find several of them seem rushed, and full of errors. Designer Reptiles and Amphibians is one of these.

The book contains a panoply of errors, such as poorly used examples and mislabelled photos. The accurate parts of the text are decently written, but if you are not already familiar with genetics and the species you're reading about, the mistakes may be hard to catch.All in all, this book is a waste of money unless you want some nice pictures of some attractive colour morphs.
