Terraria 32 - Ornamental horned frogs

Green-eyed geckos
Hibernation of tortoises

Contents:

They seem to be all about their mouths: horned frogs do not captivate with delicate forms, but rather, alongside their colourful splendour, simply through their presence. They are frogs with character. These perennial favourites in the terrarium world are now also being bred in diverse, very attractive forms. Whilst the number of species in the terrarium has remained very limited for decades, new and exciting species have finally made their way into the ‘Hobby’ in recent times. In our cover story, we introduce you to the attractive representatives of this genus, describe in detail their care and breeding, and discuss current developments.

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.

Draco 38 - Toads

Draco 38 - Toads Content:Toads are mysterious, highly interesting animals with a great variety of life strategies. Their observation in the wild is a highlight for everyone interested in nature, and their keeping and reproduction in their own terrarium is very worth the effort - because on the one hand the apparently existing demand for the animals from offspring can be satisfied, but on the other hand it is simply a lot of fun to work successfully with these animals. Anyone who has ever had a few hundred bright-eyed miniature toads hopping around in his breeding tank and raised some of them up to sexual maturity knows what we are talking about. Because toads are really ideal terrarium animals. Many of them are very attractive at first or at least at second glance, do not have too high demands on care and turn out to be attentive and - of course - greedy contemporaries who like to "shoot" a delicacy out of the keeper's hand.For a long time now, we have wanted to introduce you to toads in more detail, tell you about their biology, but also and above all about successful breeding attempts - with this issue of DRACO, we are putting this wish into practice. The pictures also show that, contrary to popular opinion, true optical jewels can be found among toads. We hope to be able to inspire you for these wonderful amphibians!2 Editorial4 GoldenEyeToads, unrecognisedsurvival artistKriton Kunz26 Bufo torrenticola keeping and offspring,the Japanese rapids toadWolfgang & Katharina Heuberger30 The toads of the bufo-bufo complex of theCaucasus systematics, biology and postureA.
