Terraria 15 - Whorlet-tailed Iguanas - Genus Cyclura

Bushmaster
Searching for poison dart frogs in Peru

Contents:

The imposing rhinoceros iguanas and their relatives of the genus Cyclura
are among the most impressive reptiles of all – and among the rarest. TERRARIA editor-in-chief Heiko Werning introduces this group of iguanas and their struggle for survival in detail. Probably
the most successful European breeder of these animals, Jürgen Schmidt, reports exclusively in TERRARIA about the first successful private breeding of the extremely rare Isla-Mona Iguana (Cyclura cychlura figginsi), while Matthias Götz from the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust contributes a report on conservation projects for the famous Blue Iguana from the Cayman Islands and its relative C. nubila caimanensis.

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.
