Reptilia 81 - Hook-nosed snakes
Samar cobraPantanal flatback turtleGalápagos
Contents:
The hook-nosed snakes of the genus Heterodon are currently experiencing an unimagined terraristic boom. Previously rather underappreciated, various very attractive colour forms have recently been bred, and this has led to a real boom. But even the normally coloured animals – and the natural spectrum of the eastern hook-nosed snake in particular covers an extremely wide range of colours – are extremely lovable terrarium pets.We present all species in detail, offer detailed breeding reports even on rarer forms, and a splendidly illustrated overview of current developments in colour variety breeding is of course also included.

Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles
CHF 46.50
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.

The animals are admired for their colouring and their favourite position, curling up over a branch, almost symbolises our idea of a tree-dwelling snake. This species has been successfully kept and bred in terrariums for a long time. However, the other pythons of the Morelia genus are also very popular. We offer an overview of these exceptionally beautiful giant snakes, describe new ways of setting up a terrarium for Morelia viridis in a naturalistic way and look at the keeping and breeding of a species that is still little known, the python with a scaly scales, Morelia carinata.EditorialMAGAZINEDATESWESTERN HERP PERSPECTIVESThe fate of books part 2B.
