There are also books you can read too, not just online articles. Besides, books would have more believeable true information, because the average Joe can't make a book- but they can make a webpage.....

Go to the library.....

I'd have to disagree on you there. There have been several books, especially on reptiles that contain errors, such as Rat books stating pine and cedar are safe. Usually the more experienced reptile people have their own breeder sites and have years of experience.


I currently own a gecko, but he is a white spot gecko. I also belong to a yahoo group devoted to geckos and lizards etc. in which I think you might find some good information.

This is so true, I have read many books that have giving out the wrong infomation on repitiles. I even been in a few pet stores where I have heard them giving people bad advice when it come to repitiles. The best place to get advice is from people that own one. Just make sure you check several sites out, never trust the first site you find. One site might tell you a certain foods are needed but then 5 other sites might say no ....trust in the majority.

Yes, there may be a few books with errors, but not that many- they are rather rare when you think of the # of books in this world. However, 2 out of 5 websites you go to have the wrong information, they represent one side of the story, they are just about the authors opinions, etc. You have to dig deep into the internet to find the good websites with correct information.

When it comes to books, before it is published, an EXPERT in that field pertaining to the subject of the book, reviews that book to make sure it is accurate. I would not know about reptile books, since I don't own a reptile.

Personally, I have NEVER read a book about rats were it states that pine and cedar are safe. I have read just about every rat pet guide book on the market- back when I was doing my research. All of the books I read stated that you should steer clear of pine & cedar.
