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 No. 28 - Fire salamander Langnasen-StrauchnatterHonduras Inhalt: Die wundervollen Feuersalamander zählen zu den schönsten Amphibien überhaupt und – nicht erst seit Lurchis Abenteuern – auch zu den bekanntesten. Grund genug, den sympathischen Gesellen ein Titelthema zu widmen. Die Übersicht über die europäischen Unterarten – mit prächtigen Bildern von Benny Trapp – gerät zu einem wahren Farbenrausch in Gelb und Schwarz. Umso erfreulicher für Terrarianer ist, dass Feuersalamander einfach und ohne technischen Aufwand zu halten und nachzuziehen sind – wie Thomas und Yvonne Klesius zu berichten wissen. Und umso erstaunlicher für Herpetologen ist, dass manches im Leben dieser vermeintlich gut bekannten Art doch noch unerforscht ist – wie Wolfgang Sauer an seinen über viele Jahre im Aquarium lebenden „Feuer-Wasser-Salamandern“ herausfand, den ersten sicher nachgewiesenen neotenen Salamanderlarven.

Terraria 43 - Terraristics on the brink of extinction?Spectacular frog rediscovery"Golden Greeks"Contents:Animal welfare organisations and animal rights activists have been polemicising against terrarium keeping for some time and calling for a general ban on keeping exotic animals. In the election campaign for the Bundestag elections on 22 September, the SPD, Greens and Left Party have now also positioned themselves with demands for a ban on wild-caught imports and stock markets, and further regulation of hobby keeping is being called for. We provide an overview of the arguments and discuss the pros and cons of individual measures and their impact on the terrarium hobby of the future.
