Through careful selective breeding over more than twenty-seven generations, leopard geckos have become the reptile analog of Koi carp, displaying a wide array of bright colors and patterns that make them premiere examples of living art.
The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos is an authoritative work on the many topics associated with this popular species, covering the large selection of available morphs, their genetics, and providing the most up-to-date information on husbandry, veterinary medicine, breeding, and vivarium design.
Illustrated with over 250 color photos, this thought-provoking work is destined to become the primary reference on the subject for years to come.
With more than a million books in print, Philippe de Vosjoli is the bestselling author of over 25 books on the care and breeding of amphibians and reptiles. He was the publisher of the highly acclaimed Vivarium magazine and Advanced Vivarium Systems line of herpetocultural books.
Ron Tremper, former curator of reptiles at the Chaffee Zoological Gardens (Fresno, CA) is the world recognized authority on the selective breeding of leopard geckos and was responsible for launching most of the novel color and pattern morphs in the trade. His most recent accomplishments include isolating a Giant mutation that super-sizes leopard geckos, and creating complex combinations of genetic traits leading to outrageous colored geckos such as the A.P.T.O.R and R.A.P.T.O.R morphs.
