Customer Reviews

Improve your clinical skills with a pleasant read.

The "Self-Assessment Color Review" collection is very nice and I can recommend the reptile and amphibian one. In my opinion, this book is not intended to give you a profound and detailed picture of the diseases but it more or less tries to confront you with real-life situations. Excellent for students or clinicians who want to deepen or broaden their interest.

an excellent revision tool for herp medicine and surgery

This book is packed with interesting cases of amphibian and reptile medicine and surgery. All the important/ common diseases are dealt with. Some diseases are replicated but this serves to help the reader learn about those in more detail. An excellent aid to revision for vet students and vets in practice who wish to test themselves and learn extra tips and facts in this area. The small size and 'quick fix' nature of the book encourages the reader to dip into the book in quiet moments and learn something new or refresh the memory. Should also be interesting to keep herp owners.
