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 25 - Livebearing Reptiles Breeding of tarantulasDiadem snakeSpur-thighed tortoise Contents: Not all reptiles lay eggs. A whole range of species bear live young, to the delight of many terrarium enthusiasts. However, even though the often problematic artificial incubation of clutches is no longer necessary: Even with livebearing reptiles, many things can go wrong when breeding them in the terrarium, and keepers often find it difficult to recognise the causes of problems. Uwe Schlüter presents the different forms of livebearing in reptiles and explains everything you need to know to breed these species as successfully as possible. In addition, we present some livebearing reptiles in the terrarium, including the Madagascar dog-headed boa, Sanzinia madagascariensis, or the strange crocodile night lizard, Lepidophyma flavimaculatum.

Marginata 43 - Vietnamese pond turtlesEuropean pond turtles in Upper SwabiaChinese striped turtles on TaiwanGiant tortoises of CurieuseContents:Cover story: Vietnamese pond turtles - a success storyA Vietnamese pond turtle (Mauremys [Annamemys] annamensis), which was considered extinct in the wild between 1940 and around 1980, has been intensively bred by dedicated private keepers since the 1990s and thus saved from extinction. Zoos became involved in conservation breeding during the EAZA ShellShock turtle campaign in 2002, and in 2013 the first animals from private keepers and zoo breeding programmes were sent back to Vietnam. There, with the help of these animals and the designation of a suitable reintroduction site, a new foundation was laid for the conservation of the species within its original range. The forthcoming issue of Marginata will present both field data from Vietnam, including details on the reintroduction, and data on the long-term husbandry and breeding by private breeders and zoological institutions.EditorialMagazineKEEPING & BREEDINGCare, breeding and rearing of the Annam swamp turtle, Mauremys annamensisHerbert Becker, Elmar Meier, Martina Raffel & Henk ZwartepoorteBIOLOGYGenetic and carapace shape variability in Mauremys annamensisTomáš ProtivaSPECIES PROTECTIONThe critically endangered Annamese pond turtle (Mauremys annamensis) – captive breeding as a contribution to species conservationHenk Zwartepoorte, Herbert Becker, Elmar Meier, Martina Raffel & Tim McCormackREPORTAGEIn the habitat of the Chinese pond turtle (Mauremys sinensis) in TaiwanSebastian Nickl & Bastian EsserPORTRAITTestudo hermanni boettgeri (Mojsisovics, 1889), Böttger’s tortoiseBenny TrappTRAVELThe giant tortoises of CurieuseMartin DieckmannREPORTAGEMarginated tortoises (Testudo marginata) in Sardinia and their endangermentYvonne & Werner LantermannSPECIES PROTECTIONThe European pond turtle in Upper SwabiaDominik HauserBook tipSubscription & ServiceRegional guide
