Turtle books

As a new (or even experienced) turtle owner, you can never go wrong in learning more about your pet! While there is some common-knowledge about turtles and their care, it never hurts to step up your overall preparedness when owning a turtle.
But, how do you find turtle books that will offer both general information on all turtles and species-specific books? What kind of information will be in these books? What books are good to start with? All great questions and are easily answered!
First and foremost, you can find both general and species specific books online and at your local book store. With a general key-word search IE: box turtle books, you will find hundreds of titles that will help you to care for your new pet. 
Any turtle book that you pick up will include things such as diet, care and setup of habitat, along with their overall natural habitat information and guidelines. Some of the best books for beginners are:

• Turtles and tortoises for dummies
• The box turtle manual
• The general care and maintenance of popular tortoises
• The general care and maintenance of popular turtles
• Encyclopedia of keeping and breeding tortoises and turtles.
