 Magnificent Book! March 28, 2001

This is a beautiful oversized book with literally hundreds of very high quality glossy photographs of these exquisite animals. If you have any interest in poison dart frogs, you'll love this book. The photography in this book alone justifies its purchase price. However, this is not merely a picture book. The extensive text includes information about the species, including their habitat range, biology and behavior. Although a short section on keeping the frogs in captivity is included, the hobbyist looking for information about captive care will be disappointed. Even the author readily admits that captive care of poison frogs is not his interest. There are several better books about captive care (including, paradoxically, a very nice one by this same author). However, the hobbyist looking to better understand the nature of his or her pet in the wild or anyone with an interest in frogs should enjoy this book

This book is a MUST for those interested in dart frogs. It covers most of the know species with many HUGE glossy photos and excellent behavior and natural habitat descriptions for each. It's great for color identification and general knowledge. This book does NOT go into detail regarding poison frogs in captivity.
Great introduction to the Poison Frog family. June 28, 2006

This book is beautiful. It contains many amazing photos of the various Poison Frog species, along with descriptions and valuable info. I just love this book! If you are interested in learning about captive care of these frogs this book won't tell you much, as it is really more of a coffee table book. Even so, I'd get this book if you keep or plan to keep Poison Frogs at all.

I have been wanting this book since I started raising dart frogs. The pictures are incredible! It is a well done overview of the Dendrobatidae family of dart frogs. It contains many interesting breed habits and rainforest facts. The price was right for my purchase here on Amazon.
I highly recommend this book for any dart frog hobbyist.
