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.

Terraria 25 - Livebearing Reptiles Breeding of tarantulasDiadem snakeSpur-thighed tortoise Contents: Not all reptiles lay eggs. A whole range of species bear live young, to the delight of many terrarium enthusiasts. However, even though the often problematic artificial incubation of clutches is no longer necessary: Even with livebearing reptiles, many things can go wrong when breeding them in the terrarium, and keepers often find it difficult to recognise the causes of problems.
