Discover the Snakes!

Snakes are fascinating animals. Children are particularly aware of this because they still have an unprejudiced view of the beauties and secrets of nature as well as an innate urge to explore and simply want to know everything about these mysterious and beautiful animals. REPTILIA editor Kriton Kunz is completely in tune with the views and needs of his young readers and conveys everything worth knowing about these animals in an exciting way that answers children's questions in an easily understandable and simply fun way. What are snakes, what species are there? How does their body work, why do they flick their tongues? Why do snakes shed their skin, how do they hunt and eat? Are all snakes poisonous? What can you do to protect snakes? And, of course, what particularly interests children: What records exist in the world of snakes, which is the longest, which is the most venomous, which has the most babies...?
The author not only deals with these and all other questions in detail and in a child-friendly way, but also offers two Extras on: Portraits of all native snake species to get to know and a big snake quiz in which the young experts can test their knowledge!
Conclusion: A highly valuable educational book with a high fun factor!

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.
