Marginata 19 - Soft-shelled turtles

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 39 - Animal welfare and terraristics Emerald skinkPyrenean frogs and bearded vultures Contents: Cover story:Animal welfare and terraristicsWhat should actually belong together as a matter of course is sometimes irreconcilably opposed. Most terrarium enthusiasts see themselves as animal rights activists, while many animal rights activists completely reject terraristics. And within the terrarium hobby, there are always new insights and the need to improve animal welfare for the pets.In the cover story of the next TERRARIA/elaphe, we take a look at the most important aspects of animal welfare in the terrarium hobby, investigate what drives our worst opponents, the animal rights activists, and devote ourselves to the important topic of stress-related illnesses in terrarium animals.

Terraria 50 - Monitor lizards in a terrariumDrinking behaviour of snakesAndaman lizardsContents:Cover story: Monitor lizards and terrariumsMany monitor lizards are among the most sought-after species in the terrarium hobby. Hobby keepers have made a decisive contribution to our knowledge of these charismatic lizards, discovering species and describing their behaviour. Some island monitor lizards are considered endangered and their trade represents a risk factor. At the same time, breeding successes are now also regularly achieved with rare species. In the cover story of the upcoming TERRARIA/elaphe, we will be focussing on the many facets of the mutual relationship between monitor lizards and terraristics.TerritorialHerpetoramaCover storyHistory of keeping monitor lizards in Germany and SchweizerBeat AkeretThe blue monitor lizard.
