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.

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.

A large proportion of the animal imports that reach us every year from China consist of various climbing snakes. The majority of these are the flower snakes presented in this book in the "Species by Species" series.Despite this, reports of the successful keeping and breeding of this attractive snake have largely failed to materialise, although from a purely statistical point of view, the flower snake should by now be firmly established in the terrarium hobby.In this guidebook, long-time terrarium keeper and snake expert Andreas Gumprecht shares his positive experiences with the care and reproduction of the flower snake with the reader.

Contents:
The hook-nosed snakes of the genus Heterodon are currently experiencing an unimagined terraristic boom. Previously rather underappreciated, various very attractive colour forms have recently been bred, and this has led to a real boom. But even the normally coloured animals – and the natural spectrum of the eastern hook-nosed snake in particular covers an extremely wide range of colours – are extremely lovable terrarium pets.We present all species in detail, offer detailed breeding reports even on rarer forms, and a splendidly illustrated overview of current developments in colour variety breeding is of course also included.
