It is a nice book to have, but I personaly prefer "Rhacodactylus
Biologie, Haltung und zucht" ISBN 3-930612-23-2

This book holds much more information about their naturaly habitat, and a bit less commercial holding ( wich i do not find interesting) The only problem is that its a german book.

Ah well.. if there is an english version I'll have it! Otherwise I'll have to make to do with books that I can just about understand.. (some of the herp terminology still baffles me! )

I too prefer the Henkel and Seipp book (Rhacodactylus -Biology, Natural History & Husbandry) - I have the English version. The full title is: Rhacodactylus : Biology, Natural History & Husbandry by Robert Seipp, Friedrich Wilhelm Henkel, Edition Chimaira

It's a fantastic book but sadly out of print. If you do manage to find copy I would recommend you buy it. It covers everything you need to know about all Rhacodactylus species from captive husbandry to natural habitats. It is an indepth book which, in my opinion, is written with the assumption that the reader has experience in keeping reptiles.

The de Vosjoli et al. book is an excellent book too. It goes into great detail everything you need to know about Crested geckos, including indepth morph identification. That's the only probem I have with it, is it focuses too much on Crested morphs for me - would've liked to have read more on the other rhac species.
