Feed animal breeding

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 62 - Unusual Food Animals Campbell’s Tree Lizard Succulents Contents: Cover Story: Unusual Food Animals A healthy diet plays a decisive role in the successful care and breeding of our terrarium animals. The famous mealworm as a standard food is far from sufficient. Fortunately, specialist retailers now offer a wide range of suitable food insects such as house crickets, crickets, flies or cockroaches, which are available all year in any quantity. However, many pets also like to eat food animals outside the mainstream and some specialists are even dependent on a special diet for their well-being. In this issue of TERRARIA/elaphe, we take a closer look at some of these little-known, rather unusual food animals such as field slugs, woodlice, moth flies or a small-growing fruit fly variant. 3          Territorial 8          Herpetorama             Results of the 17th CITES Conference in Johannesburg – new regulations for some reptiles and amphibians             Synanthrope: Creeping Schnapps             Leaf Climber: Wasted “Time”             Thorny Devil: A Rural Keel-Tailed Iguana   Cover Story 14        Food Animals             A perennial topic in terraristics             Krition Kunz 20        Slippery Snacks             Breeding and use of the Mediterranean field slug as live food             Frank Täufer 25        Woodlice as Food Animals             Dominik Hoffses 30        A Small-Growing Variant of the Fruit Fly: Drosophila melanogaster “Ant”             Boris Stockmann 34        A Frog Farm for Feeding Reptiles and Amphibians: the Painted Disk-Tongued Frog (Discoglossus pictus)             Frank Pasmans, Sergé Bongaerts & An Martel 39        Moth Flies             A new food animal for small nocturnal hunters             Ingo Fritzsche   Panorama 42        Snake searching in the Ecuadorian Chocó rainforest             Daniel Jestrzemski   Research 50        New Species             A new slender boa from the Bahamas: the Conception Silver Boa (Chilabothrus argentum)             Axel Kwet             A new Borneo bush frog from Mt.
