Cover story: Dispute over wild catches and stock markets

In its coalition agreement, the current
The German government has finalised its intention to ban exotic animal markets and the import of wild-caught animals into the EU. In the next issue of REPTILIA, we take a look behind the scenes of a large German importer of wild-caught animals and observe the current stock market situation. We also discuss whether restrictions or bans on wild-caught imports and terrarium fairs are necessary from an animal or species conservation perspective and what impact they could have on the terrarium hobby.

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.
