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.

Cover story: Photographing reptiles and amphibians better
Whether out in the field or at home in a terrarium: Everyone wants beautiful photos of amphibians and reptiles. This has never been easier than in the age of digital photography. But a camera does not make a photographer. We show how to create studio conditions for terrarium animals at home. Even with smartphones, you can sometimes achieve good results – we give tips for this. An area largely neglected until now in amphibian and reptile photography is underwater images. Many species are regularly or exclusivelyto be found in the water. We offer a brief introduction to underwater photography.

Inhalt:
Von kaum einer anderen Schlange gibt es derart viele verschiedene attraktive Farbvarianten wie von der Kettennatter. Dass es sich dazu auch noch um eine recht klein bleibende, friedliche Art handelt, die keine allzu grossen Ansprüche an die Terrarienhaltung stellt, macht sie zu einem äusserst beliebten und geeigneten Pflegling. Schlangenexperte Dieter Schmidt hält und züchtet diese Tiere seit Jahrzehnten und beschreibt in diesem Buch praxisnah ihre artgerechte Haltung und Pflege. Und wenn Sie seine Insider-Tipps zur Paarungsstimulation und zum Bebrüten der Eier beherzigen, werden Sie sicher bald eine Schar reizender Jungschlangen aufziehen können.
