No other lizard species in the world has been reproduced in captivity in greater numbers, or by so many people, than the leopard gecko. It graces the cages and terraria of thousands of households making it is the most commonly kept pet lizard in the world. This ever-growing popularity has led to an explosion of interest, pro¬pelled by a steady stream of novel new morphs, generated by avid herpetoculturists determined to transform the leopard gecko in livig art.

Leopard Geckos - The Next Generations is the authoritative work on the many topics associated with this popular species, covering the large selection of avail¬able morphs, their genetics, and providing the most up-to-date information on feeding, breeding, caging, effects of temperature, egg-laying, incubation, and rais¬ing young, including a Quick Guide offering concise details for the beginner to intermediate level keeper. Illustrated with over 200 color photos, this publication will be the leading reference for years to come.

With a career spanning four decades Ron has become well known as a pioneer in herpetoculture. During his tenure at the Fresno Zoo, as Curator of Reptiles, he was the recipient of the American Zoo Association First Breeding Award for the Santa Catalina Island Rattlesnake, (Crotalus catalinensis), and the New Zealand green gecko, (Naultinus elegans).
