Reptilia 82 - The Fox-faced Lidgecko
Californian chain snake
Northern Madagascar boa
Reptile rescue centre
Contents:
It is undoubtedly one of the strangest lizards in our terrariums, the Fox-faced Lidgecko (Aeluroscalabotes felinus), with its feline-like silent movements and almost ghostly appearance. And it has had one of the most remarkable terrarium careers in recent times. Just a few years ago, this species was practically unknown and a sensation for specialists, but today it has almost become a fashionable gecko.
No wonder, because these easy-to-hold animals captivate with their appearance as well as their behaviour. Siriporn Maier and Thomas Bamann present the keeping and breeding of this exceptional gecko in detail and in a way that is easy to understand, even for beginners.

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.
