Terraria 63 - North American vipers

Cover story: North American vipers – the lesser known species

Everyone immediately thinks of corn and ground snakes, king snakes and perhaps bull snakes when the colubrids of North America are mentioned. However, in addition to these stars of the terrarium hobby, the continent is actually home to a whole range of species that are less popular but no less fascinating and interesting for keeping in terrariums. We go on an excursion to an amazingly species-rich snake habitat and take a closer look at queen snakes, mud snakes and Trans-Pecos rat snakes.

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.

Bugs No. 04 - Ants in the terrarium

Bugs No. 04 - Ants in the terrariumThe cover story of Bugs No. 4 is about tiny creatures that achieve great things: ants are the gardeners of nature, pruning grasses, bushes and trees, guarding entire shrubs and ensuring targeted "pest extermination". But they also act as cattle breeders, keeping small colonies of aphids in order to obtain their sweet droppings. Caring for these fascinating animals is highly interesting and there is always something to observe! Reason enough to take you, dear readers, on a journey into the realm of ants and show you how you can keep these colony-forming insects safely and in a species-appropriate way.Table of contentsEditorialFacetsDatesFlown inCover storyThe diversity of the superorganismMyrmecia vindex – archaic AustraliansSnap-jaw ants of the genus MyrmoterasFledgedInvertebrates in MalaysiaIn the crosshairsThe rainbow stag beetleKeeping & BreedingLittle rubies – two Centrobolus speciesReportageExemplary arthropods - Bionics, Part 2Keeping & Breeding The Jewel WaspKeeping & BreedingHorse-headed grasshoppersKeeping & BreedingThe genus PsalmopoeusPotter beeHomemade lime source for snailsBook scorpionAlso in your neighbourhoodKids CornerA small miracleShowcase The master of the MantodeaService & ImprintPreviewMetamorphosesAutumn
