FISH, SNAKES AND OTHER UNUSUAL PETS

You Want a What for a Pet?
A Guide to 12 Alternative Pets
by Betsy Sikora Siino
Hardcover, laminated cover, 212 pages, color and black and white images
I have to admit, I'm not tempted by some of the pets in this book. But if your desires include owning and loving a ball python, chinchilla, ferret, frog/toad, green iguana, hedgehog, tarantula, hermit crab, miniature potbellied pig, rat/mouse, salamander, or turtle/tortoise, this is the book where you start. Ok, so I might consider a hedgehog...This is a brand new book.
You Want a What for a Pet? $5 plus post

Exotic Aquarium Fishes: A Work of General Reference
by William T. Innes, with photographs by the author. Published in 1948; hard cover with photos on almost every page. 511 pages, fully indexed.
An excellent overall reference book but also a lovely period piece with beautiful maps, tipped in color plates, and great imagery of the aquarium trade (no comment on the ethics of fish gathering in 3rd world countries). $5 plus post.
