Description
This extensively revised and expanded second edition of Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles offers concepts, principles and applied information that relates to the wellbeing of reptiles. As a manual on health and welfare in a similar vein to volumes addressing the sciences of anatomy, behaviour or psychology, this ebook thoroughly examines the biology of reptile welfare and is about meeting biological needs.
The editors, acknowledged experts in their own right, have once again drawn together an extremely impressive international group of contributors. Positive and negative implications of general husbandry and research programs are discussed. In addition to greatly revised original content are nine new chapters offering readers novel insight into: sensory systems, social behaviour, brain and cognition, controlled deprivation and enrichment, effects of captivity-imposed noise and light disturbance on welfare. 636 p.
