This issue of your specialist terrarium magazine REPTILIA is dedicated to tarantulas. Alongside a photo feature richly illustrated with impressive photographs, which provides an overview of the family of these popular animals, there are expert and detailed reports on keeping and breeding them. The focus is on the magnificent Poecilotheria species, which – unusually for tarantulas – can almost without exception be kept in groups, as well as the “Malaysian Earth Tiger” Cyriopagopus thorelli. The article by B. Striffler on the breeding of tarantulas, with particular attention to their natural behaviour, also deserves special mention. Here you will discover interesting facts that you will search for in vain in standard books on tarantulas, and which will enable you to draw valuable conclusions regarding husbandry and breeding conditions.

Spectacular finds and a life-threatening attack - the result of the exciting travelogue Adventure Oman, which you should not miss.
After the brilliant photos of the extremely rarely shown venomous snake Azemiops feae comes a report on an unusual way of keeping the green iguana that could not be more exemplary.
Extremely colourful animals that can reach a great age when kept properly are the fire-bellied newts of the genus Cynops, which newt expert P. Bachhausen presents to you in detail through text and images.
Observing animals in the wild not only provides fascinating insights into their way of life, but also makes it easy to draw conclusions about the successful care and breeding of these species. The proof of this simple yet effective strategy: the article by H. Esterbauer on the ecology and terrarium husbandry of the Eastern lizard snake, Malpolon monspessulanus insignitus.
In this issue of REPTILIA, we are also able to present one of the first reports on the breeding of the unusual ground python Calabaria reinhardtii. S. Seidel, who achieved this success, describes in detail here, amongst other things, the husbandry conditions that stimulated his animals to mate.
In the last part of his article on the school vivarium, M Hallmen finally reports on the concrete possibilities that arise from keeping animals in the classroom.
As always, REPTILIA once again offers you the full range of comprehensive services: events, classifieds, the magazine featuring interesting facts about Hobby, advice and practical tips, and the library are all included, as is the column, this time offering a satirical take on RODENTIA, the specialist magazine on small mammals published by Natur und Tier Verlag.

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.
