Reptilia 88 - The Scheltopusik

Contents:

Europe's largest and at the same time strangest lizard captivates all reptile enthusiasts: the Scheltopusik. This equally awe-inspiring and elegant species, with its snake-like shape and lizard head, is one of the best-known reptiles and a classic in terrarium keeping. Nevertheless, reports of successful breeding remain rare. In the upcoming REPTILIA, Benny Trapp and Michael Wirth present Scheltopusiks from all parts of the range, both in text and fantastic photos, while Sascha Esser and his team from the Alexander Koenig Zoological Research Museum also report on breeding in indoor terrariums. This extraordinary cover story is rounded off by Peter Fritz, who describes in a very comprehensible way the construction of an outdoor enclosure for this species – something sure to interest every other outdoor terrarium keeper as well.

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.
