Yeah,
I have the book. Good book with great examples of interior and exterior housing. Also a good list of eatable plants/fruits. The pictures are also good. But not as good as in the book from Vincke and Vetter. |

Red Foot Tortoises in particular are more commonly seen in the pet trade, and I would say that this book should be a mandatory read for anyone who has the species, or more particularly intends to get them in the future. Obviously, Amanda Ebenhack, the author lives in Southern Florida, where the species is very well suited to outdoor enclosures, but her guidance notes and examples taken from hobbyists in more Northern latitudes has some really good ideas, for husbandry in a more temperate climate. |

I agree, I enjoyed the book. Some of the enclosures shown are fantastic.
