Cover story: North American venomous snakes
Rattlesnakes fascinate every reptile lover! But North America is also home to other interesting venomous snakes, from the coral viper to the water moccasin snake. We offer an overview of the North American venomous snake fauna and then take an in-depth look at the rattlesnakes of the USA and the “cottonmouth” in the wild and in the terrarium. Spectacular new pictures by our photographer Bill Love included.

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.

Press reviews:
Reviewing this book was a real pleasure for me. When reading it (...) the impression is confirmed that the author can convey the subject clearly and understandably. (...)A book that should not be missing from any (giant snake) keeper's shelf!Bruno Treu in Sauria 25/2 (2003)
