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.

Individual gecko species that are particularly suitable for keeping and breeding in terrariums are portrayed in detail in the second part of the book.

Inhalt:
Kornnattern gehören schon seit jeher zu den beliebtesten Terrarientieren. Nahezu jeder engagierte Terrarianer hat sie schon kennen gelernt. Doch woher kommt das starke Interesse gerade an dieser Kletternatter? Die Antwort liegt sicherlich in erster Linie im Wesen der Schlange begründet. Als besonders friedfertige Natur ist sie daher nicht nur dem fortgeschrittenen Terrarianer zu empfehlen, sondern sie eignet sich auch ausgezeichnet für den Einstieg in die Terraristik.Der Autor geht intensiv auf die Pflege und Zucht der Tiere ein, spart aber auch Themen wie Krankheiten und deren Behandlung nicht aus. Neben den drei Unterarten stellt er Farbformen vor, die sich mittlerweile auch hierzulande grosser Beliebtheit erfreuen.

Habistat Leopard Gecko Substrate 10 kgHabistat Leopard Gecko Substrate is a natural-looking substrate mix specially developed to meet the needs of leopard geckos. The combination of sand, loam and gravel is modelled on the natural habitat of these popular desert and steppe dwellers.
The substrate provides a varied, non-slip surface and supports the animals’ natural behaviour of running, digging and exploring.Thanks to its natural texture and colouring, it is ideal for creating an authentic leopard gecko terrarium.Advantages of the Habistat Leopard Gecko SubstrateSpecially developed for leopard geckos
Mixture of sand, clay and gravelModelled on the natural habitatSupports natural digging and exploratory behaviourProvides a non-slip and varied substrateIdeal for dry desert and steppe terrariumsEnsures a natural-looking terrarium designContents: 10 kgUsageSpread the substrate evenly across the terrarium floor. For burrowing animals, ensure the layer is deep enough. Faeces, food scraps and soiled areas must be removed regularly. Replace the substrate completely depending on the level of soiling.Zoo Roco Tip:Place heavy rocks, caves and other décor items securely directly on the terrarium floor. This prevents them from being undermined whilst the animal is digging. Where possible, offer food in a feeding bowl or on a solid surface.

excellent alternative to feeder insects and homemade pastes made
made from fresh fruit. It does not require additional supplementation with vitamin and mineral supplements.Use of Gecko Cream in practice You can prepare the mousse by mixing 1 part of the powder with 2 parts of water at room temperature. At first the mixture may seem too loose, but it will thicken after a few minutes. If you need a thicker mousse consistency, use less water. You can prepare a larger portion and store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days. Feed adult animals 3-4 times a week. Feed young animals and breeding females daily at will. For nocturnal species feed in the afternoon and evening, for diurnal species feed in the morning. Remove all uneaten food after 24 hours.
