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.

Clay is the oldest and most universal building material in the world. The animal world has been demonstrating for millions of years how it can be used to build safe dwellings. And humans also utilised this building material a long time ago and even created huge and artistic buildings from it.
Clay can also be used perfectly for our pets. Building projects for animal housing of all kinds, landscaping in terrariums, soil construction for aquariums, pest control in aviaries, pigeon coops and stables - this book will show you how to do all this and what you need for it.Clay is not only a building material that can almost always be reused, but also contributes to the health of humans and animals. Clay binds toxins, displaces pests and is suitable as a fertiliser. For this reason, the health maintenance of our protégés through clay is also described in detail

Contents:
It is undoubtedly one of the strangest lizards in our terrariums, the Fox-faced Lidgecko (Aeluroscalabotes felinus), with its feline-like silent movements and almost ghostly appearance. And it has had one of the most remarkable terrarium careers in recent times. Just a few years ago, this species was practically unknown and a sensation for specialists, but today it has almost become a fashionable gecko.No wonder, because these easy-to-hold animals captivate with their appearance as well as their behaviour. Siriporn Maier and Thomas Bamann present the keeping and breeding of this exceptional gecko in detail and in a way that is easy to understand, even for beginners. EDITORIAL

Inhalt:
Schildkröten sind die Sympathieträger unter den Reptilien. Urtümliches Äusseres gepaart mit liebenswertem Wesen und sprichwörtlicher Gemütlichkeit machen sie bei allen Altersgruppen beliebt. Die Steppenschildkröte bildet da keine Ausnahme, ganz im Gegenteil: Ihr „handliches“ Format und die einfach zu erfüllenden Haltungsanforderungen machen sie zu einem äusserst geeigneten Terrarientier. Thomas Wilms, DRACO-Redakteur und Leiter des „Reptiliums“, schildert aus seiner langjährigen erfolgreichen Haltungspraxis sämtliche Aspekte rund um Haltung und Pflege dieser attraktiven Schildkröten. Ausserdem lesen Sie, wie Sie Ihre Tiere zur Paarung stimulieren, die Eier ausbrüten und die niedlichen Jungen aufziehen können.

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.
