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.

Marginata 43 - Vietnamese swamp turtles

Marginata 43 - Vietnamese pond turtlesEuropean pond turtles in Upper SwabiaChinese striped turtles on TaiwanGiant tortoises of CurieuseContents:Cover story: Vietnamese pond turtles - a success storyA Vietnamese pond turtle (Mauremys [Annamemys] annamensis), which was considered extinct in the wild between 1940 and around 1980, has been intensively bred by dedicated private keepers since the 1990s and thus saved from extinction. Zoos became involved in conservation breeding during the EAZA ShellShock turtle campaign in 2002, and in 2013 the first animals from private keepers and zoo breeding programmes were sent back to Vietnam. There, with the help of these animals and the designation of a suitable reintroduction site, a new foundation was laid for the conservation of the species within its original range. The forthcoming issue of Marginata will present both field data from Vietnam, including details on the reintroduction, and data on the long-term husbandry and breeding by private breeders and zoological institutions.EditorialMagazineKEEPING & BREEDINGCare, breeding and rearing of the Annam swamp turtle, Mauremys annamensisHerbert Becker, Elmar Meier, Martina Raffel & Henk ZwartepoorteBIOLOGYGenetic and carapace shape variability in Mauremys annamensisTomáš ProtivaSPECIES PROTECTIONThe critically endangered Annamese pond turtle (Mauremys annamensis) – captive breeding as a contribution to species conservationHenk Zwartepoorte, Herbert Becker, Elmar Meier, Martina Raffel & Tim McCormackREPORTAGEIn the habitat of the Chinese pond turtle (Mauremys sinensis) in TaiwanSebastian Nickl & Bastian EsserPORTRAITTestudo hermanni boettgeri (Mojsisovics, 1889), Böttger’s tortoiseBenny TrappTRAVELThe giant tortoises of CurieuseMartin DieckmannREPORTAGEMarginated tortoises (Testudo marginata) in Sardinia and their endangermentYvonne & Werner LantermannSPECIES PROTECTIONThe European pond turtle in Upper SwabiaDominik HauserBook tipSubscription & ServiceRegional guide

Terrarium Medium / Aquatic Habitat

Size: 60x45x30cm | Size (2): 60x45x30cm

Exo Terra Medium terrarium The Exo Terra terrariums offer a good opportunity for keeping various terrarium animals The Exo Terra Terrarium is the ideal home for reptiles and amphibians, designed by European herpetologists. The front-opening doors allow easy access for feeding and care. A special locking mechanism prevents “escapes” and the doors can be opened independently of one another. The top, made of fine-mesh metal mesh, and the resulting good ventilation allow UVB and infrared light to penetrate the terrarium. It can be easily removed completely for decoration or cleaning purposes. On both sides of the rear of the top, there are 5 sealable cable channels for installing heat mats, waterfalls, sensors, etc. inside the terrarium. The base of the terrarium is raised so that a substrate heater can be fitted to heat part of the enlarged floor area. The extra-high front windows are ideal for thick layers of substrate (so that reptiles can burrow), for water features (paludarium) or for installing a Exo Terra reptile cave. The lifelike background is in the same colour as all other Exo Terra decorative items (water bowls, waterfalls, heat rocks, etc.) and offers extra space for climbing.Accessories (not included) Ventilation through the front window (1) Two doors for escape-proof access (2) Waterproof bottom (3) Raised bottom frame (4) Top made of fine-meshed stainless steel (5) Lock to prevent “escapes” (6) Mesh screen cover can be easily attached (7) Closable holes for hoses and/or cables (8) Recesses at the back for hoses and/or cables (9) 60x45x30cm, 60x45x45cm, 60x45x60cm or 60x45x90cm PLEASE NOTE: The animals shown are NOT suitable for this terrarium size!

The Exo Terra Stone Motif Background is an exceptionally lifelike backdrop that is easy to cut to size.

Its colour and texture match those of all Exo Terra decorative items, creating a perfectly harmonised terrarium environment, whether humid or dry.
