<p><i>“There are 33 chapters covering everything from anatomy and husbandry, to diseases, imaging, nutrition and surgery. Diseases have been covered in chapters dedicated to systems [...] There are two absolute standouts of this book that I haven’t encountered in many other books before. There are two successive chapters on ‘Setting Up and Equipping a Reptile Practice’ and ‘The Reptile Consultation’, which provide beautiful guiding principles for getting into this growing field, right down to marketing of the service. The second standout is chapter 17: ‘Differential Diagnoses: A Problem-Based Approach’. The chapter runs for 36 pages and contains nothing but lists of differentials for common presenting signs of the four major reptile taxa: snakes, lizards, chelonians and crocodilians. Every major disease text should contain such a chapter and I cannot wait until the authors release the searchable app for this. [...] The text probably won’t contain the level of information a reptilian disease researcher might covet, but would be perfect for the general practitioner looking to start in reptiles, the general practitioner faced with a single question from a keen owner, the already established reptile expert and most certainly would be perfect for those veterinarians embarking upon membership examinations to Australian and New Zealand College in exotic pet</i> <i>medicine.”</i><br /><br /><b>Australian Veterinary Journal Volume 97 No 10, October 2019</b></p>
