The best reptile text out there October 25, 2009
T. Stephens (Sydney, NSW, Australia)
Mader's volume is undoubtably the best reptile text available for vets with an interest in this area. I am currently a final year vet student, and every vet I know who works with reptiles in some way owns this text. I have found it invaluable. I would have liked a little bit more on Australian species, but you get what you can.
Brilliant! February 29, 2008

This is the BEST reptile book i ever had the pleasure of owning! Brilliant pictures, easy to read text and very complete tables!
If you are a veterinary surgeon starting your experience on reptiles dont think twice... It was my case and i just loved it... this one lays next to Guilhermo Couto Small Animal Medicine and Theresa Fossum on my top 3 Veterinary Surgeons Bibles!

Simply put, I am still in awe over the amount of information in this book. This is a MUST have for any reptile Vet, and anyone who is serious about keeping or breeding reptiles. Do not let the cost put you off. The info inside is worth much, much, more than they ask.
