Thorough and Informational
It's obvious that David Chipperfield is indeed a turtle master. This book is thoughtfully written with clear and thorough information. Sometimes when I buy a kindle book I feel a bit ripped off - like the writer doesn't really know his stuff. Not here.This book has everything I need to make a decision about what kind of turtle to buy, how to set up the habitat, how to feed and care for the turtle, and identifying and dealing with any issues the turtle has. It's a complete guide, everything I need in a well-organized and well written format.

A Very Complete and Useful Guide
My granddaughter has been asking for a turtle for a while now, so I bought this book to help with the decision.This useful guide not only covers care and habitat but also types of turtles, and tortoises. It also provides valuable information on types of food, common issues with turtles and how to find a vet.And that's just a quick overview.It is well laid out and the clickable index helps me find exactly what I'm looking for when I go back to check my facts.I intend to get a copy of this book for my granddaughter as well.

Excellent read!
This is not only an excellent reference guide for anyone interested in turtles, but it's a very interesting read. I always wondered why the small turtles I had as a child died - and now I know! The author answers common questions and goes into detailed information about everything you should know before and after getting a turtle. If you want to get rid of pests in your garden, this might be a pet for you!Very nicely formatted with LOTS of pictures. Also included is a list, with pictures, of turtles that are available to purchase with a rating by the author to which are good and those not advised as pets. I would definitely purchase another book by this author.

Aquarium, underwater, turtle and tortoise lover David Chipperfield has listened to the fans who were clamoring for him to add a turtle book to his previously written books on aquariums. Here is his step-by-step compendium so you can go from a complete beginner to a turtle authority in no time
We asked David why people should read this book and he told us:
“There are loads of things you can get wrong when looking after turtles but if you know the tips and tricks you can make your relationship fun, inexpensive and hopefully not one that turns you into an accidental turtle killer (it’s easier than you might think if you don’t understand what not to do).”
If you are looking to get a turtle soon, want to know more about them or would just like some expert tips on what you can do with your current turtle then How to Care For your Pet Turtle Like an Expert could well be the place for you.

The book also includes a special ‘Who’s Who’ of turtles and tortoises—a complete guide to dozens of species, where they’re from, what they’re like, and how they are as pets.
When we asked him for a few final words, David told us to tell you:
“To all those turtle owners (and owner to be’s), I hope you enjoy the hours and hours of fun, laughs, challenges and entertainment that come with owning and loving a pet turtle!”
So, if you are considering a pet turtle or tortoise (or already own one and just want a few extra time (and money) saving tricks) then consider reading How to Care for Your Pet Turtle Like an Expert.
