About the Authors
Philippe de Vosjoli
Best known as a pioneer in herpetoculture related publishing, Philippe de Vosjoli was the co-founder of the groundbreaking American Federation of Herpetoculturists and Vivarium magazine, and the publisher of the Advanced VivariumSystems line of herpetocultural books (now published by Bowtie Press). With over a million books in print, he is the bestselling author and co-author of more than twenty-five books on the care and breeding of amphibians and reptiles. His current work focuses on establishing guidelines for the display of amphibians and reptiles in naturalistic vivaria, and developing a handbook on how to apply herpetoculture as a tool for teaching biology.
Ron Tremper
With a career spanning four decades Ron has become well known as a pioneer in herpetoculture. During his tenure at the Fresno Zoo, as Curator of Reptiles, he was the recipient of the American Zoo Association First Breeding Award for the Santa Catalina Island Rattlesnake, (Crotalus catalinensis), and the New Zealand green gecko, (Naultinus elegans). Recognized worldwide as the foremost authority on leopard geckos, he has developed the majority of all known color and pattern morphs. This book brings to bear his vast knowledge gained during over 30 years keeping and selectively breeding geckos. 2005 marks the production of Ron’s 27th generation of unbroken bloodlines in leopard geckos and the debut of four new mutations in the most definitive work on this subject ever compiled.
Roger Klingenberg, DVM
After graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University in 1979, Roger Klingenberg proceeded to focus his efforts on the emerging exotic pet animal discipline with an emphasis on husbandry, medical, and surgical techniques. Dr. Klingenberg has become a well-known researcher, educator, lecturer, writer, and veterinary practitioner. He is the founder and managing partner of a three doctor veterinary hospital in Greeley, CO. Some of Dr. Klingenberg's better known accomplishments include having authored the book, Understanding Reptile Parasites, and co-authoring several other books with his friend and herpetocultural mentor, Philippe de Vosjoli. He has also published numerous scientific and lay press articles, and contributed chapters for textbooks as well. His current research interests include the treatment of parasites such as coccidia and cryptosporidia in reptiles, and the application of the CO2 laser in exotic pets.
