Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity by Tom R. Johnson, Robert N. Bader, and Donald J Coxwell (1949 - ).


In recent years the number of people interested in keeping amphibians and reptiles in captivity has grown rapidly. All too often, these same people have little knowledge of the proper care needed for their captives, nor do they know where to turn in order to learn the needs of their animals.
It is the intent of the authors of this special issue to offer the proper information needed to successfully keep amphibians and reptiles in captivity. We are by no means THE experts on the subject, nor do we claim to cover all the facts. However, we do hope that enough information is furnished to answer most of the common questions asked by people.
( Tom R. Johnson)
This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/amphibians-and-reptiles-in-captivity-by-donald-j-coxwell/
  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/59342
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

    There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.

Thanks for proof listening it, Larry! I think I am making a record for the longest time taken to complete the shortest book.

Nice cover!
Better than a snake, my wife would say.
But, I grew up with reptiles and other such things . . . .
