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.

Corn snakes

All about corn snakes from Wolfgang Schmidt 88 Seiten 62 Abbildungen Format: 16,8 x 21,8 cm Autor Wolfgang Schmidt 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. Über den Autor: Wolfgang Schmidt, Jahrgang 1962, ist verheiratet und hat zwei Kinder. Seit seinem 12. Lebensjahr hält und züchtet er erfolgreich die verschiedensten Amphibien und Reptilienarten. Durch seine zahlreichen Bücher und Zeitschriftenpublikationen auf dem Gebiet der Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde ist der Autor einem breiten Publikum als Fachmann bekannt, der seine Leser in fundierter und dennoch leicht verständlicher Form von seinem reichen Erfahrungsschatz profitieren lässt.
