General Care Discussion :: does anybody know a professional book about res's?

[turtie]

i would like to read more about the behavior, life, "brain", psychology and stuff like that, not just a "to do list" or "how to" guide....

thanks!!!!

In my experience, i don't believe there's much to "red ear slider psychology" besides the info you can freely find on this site.If i come across anything, i will post a link.

second, look at this book, sounds very intersting one, but very expensive as well. i wated to get something like this, only cheaper and maybe lighter...:

""Biology of Turtles" presents the morphology, physiology, and behavior of both freshwater and marine turtles. It explores life histories along with ecological strategies of adaptation, examines current debates in evolution concerning the relationship between organism features and life history, and considers what turtle structures can and cannot reveal about growth, ecology, and behavior.

Hmm heres a review on that book, doesnt sound what your looking for really. Also from reading that persons review it sounds like there is yet to be a book like that.

""Biology of Turtles" is VERY inappropriately titled. A more suitable title would have been "Anatomy of Turtles, with Notes on Biomechanics and Physiology"

so there is no such book like what i'm looking for?
so where can i read and learn about their behavior ?

Well, you can watch your own turtle.

If you read others' observations here in this forum, you'll notice that each turtle
has its own personality. That means there are typical behaviors, but there are
also unique behaviors to each turtle.

Watching our own turtles is more fun and interesting compared to reading about it.

I'm not sure if you will find specifically what you're looking for, but there are some books listed here: www.redearslider.com/reading_list.html
