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 63 - North American vipers Contents: Cover story: North American vipers – the lesser known species Everyone immediately thinks of corn and ground snakes, king snakes and perhaps bull snakes when the colubrids of North America are mentioned.

We go on an excursion to an amazingly species-rich snake habitat and take a closer look at queen snakes, mud snakes and Trans-Pecos rat snakes.

Chimaira, encyclopaedia of turtlesThis encyclopaedia provides a comprehensive overview of recent turtles. For each species, the most important data on appearance and behaviour have been compiled; the authors were able to go into particular detail on remarkable aspects of morphology or biology, explain a recent discovery or a little-known observation. Endangerment and protection of the respective turtle species are dealt with in detail. The protection of species, but also the protection of habitats, which is just as important for the conservation of the species, are key motifs here. In this way, the threats to each species are systematically presented on the one hand, and the laws that have been passed to protect them and the protective measures that have been introduced to conserve them are listed on the other

Reptilia 116 - Aquatic turtles - Perfect pets Tarantula Oligoxystre diamantinensisChristmas in the African bushIntroduction to keeping venomous snakesContents: Cover story: Aquatic turtles – perfect petsAquatic turtles have enjoyed great popularity for decades. For a long time, however, small baby turtles were offered in pet shops for little money and ended up mainly with keepers who were not terrarium keepers and simply had no idea about these animals. The consequences are well known: overgrown red-eared sliders and other aquatic turtles that were abandoned or ended up in rescue centres. As a result, aquatic turtle keeping has fallen into disrepute. However, aquatic turtles are wonderful pets if you look after them properly and acquire the necessary expertise. We offer an overview of the species currently being kept and provide you with the tools you need to enjoy these charming turtles for a long time.
