Reptiles encompass some of the most fascinating and varied examples of the animal kingdom, and they have ever been so elegantly captured in beautiful photography and startling snapshots in this huge book. Included are historical and scientific facts about key species which makes this book a fascinating biological tour through the world of reptiles.
Known as Mr. Reptile by his colleagues, Karim Daoues has held a fascination with reptiles and the natural world from childhood. He is a self-taught expert and opened the very first specialist reptile shop in France at the age of 19. The immediate success of the business enabled him to travel the world and advise breeders and local exporters. An experienced breeder of reptiles himself, he has participated in various reptile-linked training programmes and is regularly involved in events to publicise his passion.
Once a fireman in Paris, Teddy Moncuit is an adventurer and always on the lookout for a new challenge. A self-taught reptile expert with an unusual background, his numerous travels around the globe have deepened his understanding of reptiles and other fauna. A close colleague of Karim Daoues, he has carried out some of the most daring missions throughout the South-American continent and Africa, from collecting rare mushrooms for scientific research to trapping a fierce anaconda. He is also an experienced reptile breeder. It is with an unfaltering love and respect for nature that he has co-written this book.
