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.

Rep Calcium +D3
Nekton Rep Calcium + D3 is a high-quality calcium supplement for reptiles and amphibians that supports optimal bone and muscle development. Enriched with vitamin D3, it promotes the absorption of calcium in the body and thus contributes to a healthy skeletal structure and an intact metabolism. Especially for reptiles kept in terrariums, a regular supply of calcium and vitamin D3 is crucial to avoid deficiency symptoms such as bone softening or deformities.
The powder is easy to dose and can be sprinkled directly over the food or added to the drinking water. Nekton Rep Calcium + D3 is an ideal supplement for all reptile species that have an increased need for calcium, such as tortoises, geckos and agamas.
Advantages:
Optimum calcium supply: Promotes healthy bone and skeletal development and supports the muscular system.
Enriched with vitamin D3: Improves calcium absorption in the body and ensures optimum utilization.
Prevents deficiency symptoms: Reduces the risk of calcium deficiencies that can lead to health problems.
Easy to use: The powder is easy to dose and can be added directly to the feed or drinking water.
High-quality composition: Specially developed for the needs of reptiles and amphibians.
Zoo Roco tips:
Correct dosage: Pay attention to the recommended dosage depending on the species and age of the animal to avoid overdosing.
Combine with UVB lighting: Vitamin D3 needs UVB radiation to be optimally processed. So provide good UVB lighting in the terrarium to maximize the effect of Nekton Rep Calcium + D3.
Feeding frequency: Sprinkle the calcium supplement 2-3 times a week on the food or in the drinking water, depending on the animal's needs.
Combination with other supplements: In some cases, it may be useful to combine Nekton Rep Calcium + D3 with other nutrients your pet needs, especially if a special diet is required.
Geckos in the terrarium by Astrid FalkThe book offers a comprehensive introduction to geckos and their species-appropriate keeping in terrariums. It explains what you need to think about before buying a gecko and what preparations should be made. The book describes in detail how the terrarium is technically equipped and set up. The care of the animals, their special features and behaviour, their diet, reproduction and rearing of young animals are described, as well as diseases and husbandry problems with tried and tested suggestions for prevention and treatment. Individual gecko species that are particularly suitable for keeping and breeding in terrariums are portrayed in detail in the second part of the book.
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.

Terraria 23 - The Green Tree Python
Construction of an irrigation systemGuadeloupe
Contents:
Hardly any other snake enjoys as much reverent enthusiasm as Morelia viridis, the Green Tree Python. Even die-hard snake haters can hardly escape the aesthetic fascination radiated by the beautifully green-coloured, elegantly “coiled” pythons on a branch. And then there are the brightly red, yellow or green coloured juveniles! This snake is correspondingly popular in terraristics, and although it is still not an easy species to keep, it has made an impressive triumphant advance in our terrariums in recent years. A good two decades ago, breeding itself was considered a sensation, but today a wide variety of targeted colour breeds are already circulating. The cover story of the upcoming TERRARIA reports on the latest developments in this giant snake – you can look forward to previously unpublished information as well as magnificent photos! Editorial
