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.

Inhalt:
Kaum ein anderes Reptil erfüllt den Menschen seit alters so sehr mit gleichermaßen Faszination und Furcht wie die Kobras. Während in Mühlheim das entfleuchte Jungtier einer solchen Giftnatter gleich dafür sorgt, dass ein ganzes Haus entkernt wird, leben die Menschen kompletter Erdteile dauernd in direkter Nachbarschaft zu diesen Schlangen. Wir nähern uns diesen besonderen Reptilien mit zoologischem Interesse und werfen einen Blick auf ihre Lebensweise. Und berichten natürlich auch über ihre verantwortungsvolle Terrarienhaltung.

Reptilia 116 - Aquatic turtles - Perfect pets
Tarantula Oligoxystre diamantinensisChristmas in the African bushIntroduction to keeping venomous snakesContents: Cover story: Aquatic turtles – perfect petsAquatic turtles have enjoyed great popularity for decades. For a long time, however, small baby turtles were offered in pet shops for little money and ended up mainly with keepers who were not terrarium keepers and simply had no idea about these animals. The consequences are well known: overgrown red-eared sliders and other aquatic turtles that were abandoned or ended up in rescue centres. As a result, aquatic turtle keeping has fallen into disrepute. However, aquatic turtles are wonderful pets if you look after them properly and acquire the necessary expertise. We offer an overview of the species currently being kept and provide you with the tools you need to enjoy these charming turtles for a long time.
