Contents:
Tarantulas of the genus Avicularia have long been among the most popular terrarium invertebrates. This is not only due to their very attractive colouring, but also to the generally very calm nature of these spiders.

In this volume of the "Species by Species" series, he goes into detail and in an easy-to-understand way about all the aspects of keeping and caring for Martinique tarantulas that are worth knowing. And, of course, he also tells you how to breed your favourites and raise the young spiders.

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.

When opening the upper part of the terrarium, make sure that no animal can escape from the terrarium. When closing, make sure that the animals, plants or other decorations are not trapped. The lid construction prevents spontaneous opening and closing of the terrarium.Location of the terrariumChoose the location for the terrarium carefully, as the terrarium should not be moved after all decorative elements have been installed. Choose a place with a stable temperature between 20° C and 25° C. A place with natural light is ideal, but not directly by the window or in places where the terrarium could overheat. Also avoid places where there are chemical or other fumes and where there is cigarette smoke. After choosing a suitable place, you can start installing the plants and other decorations.
