This is a comprehensive, practical guide to the construction,
arrangement, and management of reptile enclosures, with detailed
information on which reptiles are suitable as pets, how and where to
squire them, their general management, and much more. Profusely
illustrated and fill of useful information, "The Vivarium" will be of
considerable utility to existing and prospective reptile owners, and
would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature.
Contents include: "How to Make Vivaria", "Plants Suitable for Vivaria",
"Tortoises", "Crocodiles", "Lizards", "Snakes", "Frogs", "Newts",
"Fish-like Salamanders, Olms, &c", et cetera. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1897.
