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.

Released waxworms (Galleria mellonella)
For reptiles, amphibians, birds or as fishing bait
The caterpillars are usually fed to reptiles, amphibians and birds. However, the waxworm is also becoming increasingly important as fishing bait.
As a treat
For reptiles, amphibians and birds
also as fishing bait
Waxworms were originally known to beekeepers as a pest in beehives. There the larvae of the moth feed on honey. In commercial breeding, the larvae are reared on a feed mash consisting mainly of wheat bran and honey. The caterpillars are usually fed to reptiles, amphibians and birds. However, the waxworm is also becoming increasingly important as fishing bait. The waxworms are offered in 2 different forms: As breeding stock or in released form. The breeding stock offers the advantage that younger waxworms can also be fed, which are significantly smaller than the adult animals. Due to the feed, the caterpillars must taste sweet, which makes the insects very popular with eaters. Waxworms in breeding stocks should, depending on how quickly the animals are to grow, be kept at around 20 to 30 degrees C. The released waxworms should be stored in the refrigerator at about 6-10 degrees C. In this state, the animals no longer take in food.We obtain these waxworms from a breeder for fishing bait. Substances may possibly have been used in the rearing of the worms that can affect the pupation of the animals.

Tropica Terra-2-Grow Thyme Moss – Plagiomnium mossTropica Terra-2-Grow Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ – light green terrarium moss with wavy leaves. Ideal for humid terrariums, paludariums and moss landscapes.Tropica ’s Terra-2-Grow Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ is a particularly attractive moss for tropical terrariums, paludariums and naturalistic plant arrangements. With its comparatively large, light-green leaves and slightly translucent leaf structure, it stands out clearly from many other terrarium mosses.The delicate leaves have finely wavy edges and give the moss a soft, lively appearance. Thanks to its low, carpet-like growth habit, dense, natural-looking moss cushions develop over time, reminiscent of the floor of a damp forest.Thyme Moss looks particularly decorative amongst natural stones, on damp roots or as a green ground cover in a terrarium. It can be used to add greenery to small landscapes, to create transitions between different materials or to give individual areas a lush, woodland atmosphere.This moss resembles the North American species Plagiomnium cuspidatum. Its larger leaves provide a lovely contrast to finely structured mosses, ferns and compact tropical plants. This makes it particularly suitable for varied miniature landscapes and detailed terrarium designs.Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ prefers high humidity and a shady to moderately bright location. Under suitable conditions, it grows at a moderate rate and develops flat, fresh-green moss carpets.With a growth height of approximately 2–5 cm or more, this moss is suitable for both small terrariums and larger planted landscapes. It can thrive particularly well in enclosed or semi-enclosed terrariums, provided there is sufficient moisture.Tropica ’s Terra-2-Grow plants are propagated under controlled laboratory conditions and supplied in sealed culture cups. This allows the plants to be neatly portioned and strategically incorporated into your terrarium design.Important: Thyme Moss is a terrarium moss and not a traditional aquatic plant. It is suitable for damp terrestrial areas but should not be kept completely submerged at all times.With its unusual leaf structure and natural growth habit, Tropica Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’ is a wonderful addition for anyone wishing to enhance their terrarium or paludarium with a special type of moss.Your benefits at a glanceTerra-2-Grow growing pots with Plagiomnium sp. ‘Thyme Moss’Fresh green, slightly translucent moss leavesDecorative leaf structure with wavy edgesLow, carpet-like growthIdeal for tropical terrariums and paludariumsSuitable for covering damp roots and stonesLow light requirements and moderate growth rateLaboratory-propagated culture for easy portioningInstructions for usePreparationOpen the Terra-2-Grow growing pot and carefully remove the moss. Remove any remaining growing medium by gently rinsing it with clean water.Then divide the moss into several small portions. This will allow you to distribute it evenly across different areas of the terrarium.PlantingPlace the moss portions on a damp, suitable terrarium substrate or on naturally damp stones and roots.Gently press the moss down so that it makes good contact with the substrate. On vertical or sloping surfaces, it can be secured with a suitable thread or another plant-friendly fastening if necessary.LightThyme Moss prefers a location with low to moderate light levels. Avoid direct, strong sunlight, as this can cause the moss to dry out or become damaged.HumidityA high and, as far as possible, consistent level of humidity is important for healthy growth. Closed or semi-closed terrariums often provide suitable conditions.WateringKeep the moss and its substrate evenly moist. Where possible, use soft, low-calcium water.Avoid both complete drying out and persistent waterlogging. Good air circulation helps to prevent mould growth.CareCarefully remove any dead plant parts as and when necessary. Once larger moss clumps have formed, these can be divided and planted elsewhere.Important notePlagiomnium sp. 'Thyme Moss' is intended for emersed cultivation. The moss should not be permanently submerged.Zoo Roco TipThyme Moss is particularly well-suited to creating natural-looking woodland landscapes in terrariums. With its comparatively large, fresh-green leaves, it creates a lovely sense of depth, reminiscent of small forest floors.Combine the moss with delicate ferns, selaginella and compact tropical plants. Its distinctive leaf structure also looks particularly attractive on weathered roots or amongst natural stones.When planting the moss, divide it into several small portions rather than using one large, continuous clump. This allows the individual clumps to develop more evenly and gradually grow together to form a natural moss surface.Take particular care to ensure sufficient moisture, especially during the first few weeks. Freshly planted moss is sensitive to drying out and needs time to adapt to the new site conditions.
Tropica Terra-2-Grow Peperomia prostrata – terrarium plantTropica Terra-2-Grow Peperomia prostrata – an ornamental terrarium plant with small, turtle-shaped leaves. Ideal for tropical terrariums and paludariums.Tropica ’s Terra-2-Grow Peperomia prostrata is an exceptionally decorative plant for tropical terrariums, paludariums and creative plant arrangements.

Persistent waterlogging must be avoided at all costs, as the delicate roots can rot.Care and pruningIf necessary, shoots that have grown too long can be carefully pruned back. Healthy shoot cuttings can be used for vegetative propagation.Important notePeperomia prostrata requires a location above the water’s surface. In paludariums, the root zone must not be permanently submerged.Zoo Roco TipPeperomia prostrata is a particularly beautiful plant for tropical miniature landscapes. Its small leaves create a natural sense of scale, even in compact terrariums.We recommend placing the plant slightly raised amongst roots or on a planted background. This allows the delicate shoots to trail elegantly downwards, showing off its characteristic trailing habit to its best advantage.Combining it with tropical mosses, dwarf ferns and Selaginella species creates a varied and natural-looking plant landscape.Take care not to keep Peperomia prostrata too wet. Although it thrives in high humidity, its roots cannot tolerate prolonged waterlogging. A well-aerated substrate and good air circulation are crucial for long-term healthy growth.
Worn Wood M – natural aquarium root for aquascapingWorn Wood M – natural aquarium root made from hardwood with a weathered texture. Ideal for aquascaping, shrimp aquariums and terrariums. Size approx. 20–30 cm.The Worn Wood root is an exceptional natural decoration for aquariums, aquascapes and terrariums. Its distinctive, weathered surface is reminiscent of wood that has been shaped over many years by water, sun and wind. This creates a particularly natural look that lends any underwater landscape a rustic and authentic character.With its warm brown to yellow-brown hues and smooth, slightly eroded surface, Worn Wood blends harmoniously into natural-looking aquarium designs. The gently curved shapes, natural indentations and unique wood textures make every root a one-of-a-kind decorative element.Unlike heavily branched root varieties, Worn Wood often has a more compact, sculptural shape. This makes the wood particularly well-suited as a central design element in the aquarium. Whether as a horizontal tree trunk, a weathered river root or a striking focal point amongst natural stones – the design possibilities are endless.The natural wood surface combines beautifully with epiphytic plants and mosses. Anubias, Bucephalandra, Java fern and various aquarium mosses in particular can be attached to the root. This creates harmonious aquascapes where plants and natural wood blend seamlessly together.Furthermore, the root provides shrimps, snails and small aquarium fish with additional structures to explore. Over time, biofilms and microorganisms can colonise the wood, which shrimps, for example, enjoy grazing on.The Worn Wood root is made of natural, dense hardwood. Due to the density of the material, many pieces sink of their own accord after a short soaking period. As this is a natural product, individual roots vary in shape, colour and structure.Measuring approx. 20–30 cm, Worn Wood M is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized aquariums or as part of larger aquascaping landscapes.Your benefits at a glanceSize M, approx. 20–30 cm in lengthMade from 100% natural, dense hardwoodCharacteristic, weathered surfaceWarm brown and yellow-brown tonesIdeal for aquascaping, aquariums and terrariumsSuitable for attaching mosses and epiphytesEvery root is a unique piece of natureInstructions for useRinse the Worn Wood root thoroughly with clean water before adding it to the tank to remove loose dirt particles and any possible residues. Do not use cleaning agents.We recommend soaking the root in a separate container for a few days before adding it to the tank. This allows the wood to become fully saturated with water and ensures that any water-soluble tannins are partially released.Then place the root in the desired position in the aquarium and ensure that it is stable. If the root still floats, it can be temporarily weighted down with suitable aquarium stones.For a natural look, mosses and epiphytes can be attached to the wood surface using suitable plant glue or thin thread.ImportantRinse thoroughly before addingPre-soak for several days if necessaryDo not use chemical cleaning agentsEnsure the wood is securely positioned in the aquariumThe water may take on a slight brownish tinge due to tanninsWhitish biofilms on fresh wood are usually temporaryZoo Roco TipWorn Wood is particularly well suited to natural-looking aquascapes where a calm and harmonious design is the priority. Combine the weathered root with fine sand, rounded river stones and compact aquatic plants to create the impression of a natural stream.Mosses and epiphytic plants such as Anubias, Bucephalandra or Java fern, which can be attached directly to the wood, look particularly decorative.Our tip for shrimp aquariums: After adding the root, allow sufficient time for natural biofilms to develop. Shrimps enjoy grazing on these surfaces and use the wooden structures as additional places to rest and hide.

Solar UVA/UVBOptimal ratio of UVA, UVB, light and heat radiation in one lampThe REPTI PLANET Solar UVA-UVB light bulb provides an ideal ratio of ultraviolet light (UVA, UVB radiation), visible light and infrared light (heat) in one lamp. It is a full spectrum light bulb that supports physiological processes such as activity, feeding and reproduction. Thanks to the production of vitamin D3, it supports the optimal absorption of calcium, ensuring the proper development and growth of terrarium animals.Simulates natural sunlightHelps prevent metabolic bone diseasesSupports natural metabolic processesCaution: When choosing a bulb, consider not only the type of bulb, but also the type of animal kept and the distance of the animal from the heat source.
Lucky Reptile Bright Sun ZOO Desert 150WThis Bright Sun version was developed especially for large terrariums where UV and also heat radiation must be brought over a large distance to the animal. The lamp has a correspondingly strong focus, so that acceptable performance is still achieved even at distances of over 100 cm. By grouping several lamps to a single point, the operating range can be further improved and species-appropriate conditions can be created in typical zoo terrariums without having to suspend lamps in a way that is disturbing for the observer. As the technical possibilities are exhausted for this extreme application, the Bright Sun Zoo unfortunately does not achieve the usual UV service life of one year and should be replaced after 6 months at the latest. Due to the extreme performance, it is imperative that the application and distance recommendations are adhered to. Operation is possible with the well-known Bright Control ballasts and Thermo Socket luminaires.

Lucky Reptile - Moon Lamp LED moonlight lamp
The moonlight lamp with minimal power consumption: Lucky Reptile Moon Lamp LED moonlight lamp - 0.5 watts provides atmospheric night-time lighting.
Efficient lamp for the terrarium
Miniature moon with LED
Creates the impression of moonlight in the jungle
With E27 socket
0.5W
Animals are not disturbed
produces very little heat
The Moon Lamp is practically a miniature moon for the terrarium. The power consumption is only approx. 0.5 watts. As the Moon Lamp works with efficient LEDs, it produces just the right amount of light to illuminate terrariums at night without disturbing the animals. Terrarium areas in the cone of light (e.g. a branch fork or part of the terrarium floor) are illuminated more strongly than the edges of the terrarium. This creates the impression of a moonlit clearing in the (terrarium) jungle. The Moon Lamp, which fits all E27 sockets, produces very little heat and therefore does not interfere with the night-time drop in terrarium temperature. However, as it emits much of its light in a cone, it is primarily suitable for taller terrariums. For small terrariums or for illuminating the entire terrarium at night with evenly distributed light intensity, we recommend the Lucky Reptile Night Sky LED Set.
