Borneo
is considered one of the last great, untamed natural paradises of Southeast Asia. The island is a hotspot of biodiversity and still holds some surprises. Our author Jörg Hofmann was there with a research expedition from the University of Hamburg and reports on his adventures in Kubah National Park. Maximilian Dehling also works scientifically in Borneo. He introduces us to some of the island's breathtakingly beautiful vipers as well as the fascinating flying frogs, some of which he was able to capture in spectacular photos in their famous gliding flight.

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.

8th edition
Author Hartmut Wilke
Swamp and water turtles have existed on our planet for around 250 million years, and therefore resemble relics from a time long past. This fact and their unique and sometimes very exotic appearance are just two of many factors that explain the steady growth of their fan base, which includes biologist Hartmut Wilke. He has been gathering knowledge about these reptiles for over 20 years and has compiled his concentrated knowledge and practical tips on keeping tortoises for you in this guide. This makes it easy for you to cater to the individual needs of your tortoises so that they stay fit and healthy. With optimal care, nothing stands in the way of a lifelong and happy friendship between you and your pet!
