Handbook of forage plants
2nd revised edition
Marion 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.

About water dragons and sea lizards
Author Heiko Werning
The large water dragons of the genus Physignathus are undoubtedly among the most attractive and interesting terrarium animals. Their impressive shape, their primeval appearance reminiscent of mythical creatures and their lively behaviour have fascinated entire generations of terrarium keepers. Unfortunately, the popularity of water dragons has not been sufficiently recognised in the literature to date. This monograph by REPTILIA editor Heiko Werning completely fills this gap. It contains all the important information on the biology, origin and care of these animals. The breeding of the green water dragon Physigathus cocincinus, which the author has already successfully bred many times, is dealt with in particular detail. The author also describes the lesser-known genus Lophognathus in detail. In addition to the water dragons, the anatomy and behaviour of the Hydrosaurus lizards, which are similar in appearance, are also discussed. The book is characterised by Werning's practical approach and detailed knowledge: it is not only an absolute must for all terrarium keepers who are interested in these fascinating lizards, but also has scientific merit.
