  Amphibian and Reptile Care References
For centuries, reptiles have been revered by some, but unfortunately feared by most. One way of educating the public is to have reptiles available for observation and handling. Most of the reptiles available today are captive bred and not wild caught. Injured reptiles that would not survive in the wild are also often found in nature centers and classrooms, and reptile rescue groups always are trying to find homes for green iguanas, boas and red-eared sliders whose owners have abandoned them. When properly raised and maintained, these species can be wonderful ambassadors for preservation of their wild kin. The references in this section offer practical suggestions for the care of the most commonly kept herps. The goal should be not to just keep them alive, but rather, to have them thrive.
