Reptilia 107 Toad lizards
Eared frogMagnificent tortoiseConstruction of an outdoor terrarium Contents:Cover story: Toad lizardsThe bizarre toad lizards of the genus Phrynosoma are among the almost legendary terrarium animals. Every reptile lover is probably enchanted by the appearance of these small North American iguanas, but they have a reputation for being impossible to keep. However, more and more dedicated terrarium keepers are succeeding not only in keeping these food specialists for many years, but also in breeding them successfully. We provide an overview of the genus, discuss the problem of feeding these animals and provide two examples of successful keeping and breeding.

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.

Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles

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.

Author Hartmut Wilke
Swamp and water turtles have existed on our planet for around 250 million years, and therefore resemble relics from a time long past. This fact and their unique and sometimes very exotic appearance are just two of many factors that explain the steady growth of their fan base, which includes biologist Hartmut Wilke. He has been gathering knowledge about these reptiles for over 20 years and has compiled his concentrated knowledge and practical tips on keeping tortoises for you in this guide. This makes it easy for you to cater to the individual needs of your tortoises so that they stay fit and healthy. With optimal care, nothing stands in the way of a lifelong and happy friendship between you and your pet!
