Cover story: Vietnamese pond turtles - a success story

A Vietnamese pond turtle (Mauremys [Annamemys] annamensis), which was considered extinct in the wild between 1940 and around 1980, has been intensively bred by dedicated private keepers since the 1990s and thus saved from extinction. Zoos became involved in conservation breeding during the EAZA ShellShock turtle campaign in 2002, and in 2013 the first animals from private keepers and zoo breeding programmes were sent back to Vietnam. There, with the help of these animals and the designation of a suitable reintroduction site, a new foundation was laid for the conservation of the species within its original range. The forthcoming issue of Marginata will present both field data from Vietnam, including details on the reintroduction, and data on the long-term husbandry and breeding by private breeders and zoological institutions.

Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles

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.
