She founded and runs samenkiste.de, which is well known to many tortoise keepers and nature lovers. Her name is inextricably linked with reptile care and species-appropriate nutrition for tortoises. Her handbook of food plants summarises the most important native food plants for herbivorous and omnivorous reptiles.

From the basics of plant biology to native wild herbs to suitable food plants for hardy tropical reptile species, this comprehensive work provides the basis for species-appropriate keeping.

Cover story: Tail amphibians in the terrarium
Newts and salamanders are among the less favoured terrarium animals. Yet these urodeles offer a wide variety of shapes and an often surprising blaze of colour, not to mention fascinating observation opportunities. We take a detailed look at the famous “father of newts”, Willy Wolterstorff, who was born 150 years ago, and in further articles we present the tiger salamander, the Vietnamese warty newt and, with the lungless salamanders of Central America, a little-known group of urodeles with an even more surprising biology.
