Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles
CHF 46.50
Handbook of forage plants 2nd revised editionMarion Minch is not only a successful breeder of diverse tortoises for many years, but also an excellent connoisseur of native wild herbs. 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. She not only considers tortoises, but also iguanas, spiny-tailed dragons and even chameleons. 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. In the expanded and supplemented 2nd edition, the plant section is divided according to flower colour. This makes it even easier to identify wild herbs. The work has also been supplemented with a wealth of additional information and many pictures.

About water dragons and sea lizards
Author Heiko Werning
The large water dragons of the genus Physignathus are undoubtedly among the most attractive and interesting terrarium animals. Their impressive shape, their primeval appearance reminiscent of mythical creatures and their lively behaviour have fascinated entire generations of terrarium keepers. Unfortunately, the popularity of water dragons has not been sufficiently recognised in the literature to date. This monograph by REPTILIA editor Heiko Werning completely fills this gap. It contains all the important information on the biology, origin and care of these animals. The breeding of the green water dragon Physigathus cocincinus, which the author has already successfully bred many times, is dealt with in particular detail. The author also describes the lesser-known genus Lophognathus in detail. In addition to the water dragons, the anatomy and behaviour of the Hydrosaurus lizards, which are similar in appearance, are also discussed. The book is characterised by Werning's practical approach and detailed knowledge: it is not only an absolute must for all terrarium keepers who are interested in these fascinating lizards, but also has scientific merit.

Reptilia 117 - Amphibian raritiesFlooridaNight lizardIberian adderContents: Cover story: Amphibian raritiesIn all amphibian groups there are species which, for various reasons, are not kept as frequently in terrariums as fire salamanders, dyer frogs etc.: some species are only imported rarely and in small numbers, some have no lobby, others are highly sought after but not easy to breed.In the cover story of this issue of REPTILIA, we present such rarities in detail - with captivating photos and detailed reports on extremely pleasing breeding successes. We also visit a project in South America in which species sought after by terrarists are selectively propagated - and which simultaneously promotes science, nature conservation and environmental education.EditorialMAGAZINEDATES WESTERN HERP PERSPECTIVESThe fate of books, part 1B.

Vielleicht die liebenswertesten Pfleglinge im Aquarium sind Zwergkrallenfrösche. Dem heiteren Anblick einer munter und etwas tollpatschig durchs Becken rudernden Schar dieser kleinen Fröschchen vermag sich wohl niemand zu entziehen. Da es sich außerdem um äußerst pflegeleichte Tiere handelt, kann man diese netten Amphibien auch dem Einsteiger empfehlen. REPTILIA-Redakteur Kriton Kunz hielt als Kind bereits seine ersten Zwergkrallenfrösche und züchtet sie seit Jahren regelmäßig erfolgreich nach. Praxisnah und kompetent, aber jederzeit leicht verständlich geht er detailliert auf alle Aspekte rund um Haltung und Pflege der reizenden Kerlchen ein und verrät Ihnen überdies, wie man Zwergkrallenfrösche zur Paarung bewegt und ihre Kaulquappen sowie die Jungtiere aufzieht.
