Every reptile lover is probably enchanted by the appearance of these small North American iguanas, but they have a reputation for being impossible to keep. However, more and more dedicated terrarium keepers are succeeding not only in keeping these food specialists for many years, but also in breeding them successfully. We provide an overview of the genus, discuss the problem of feeding these animals and provide two examples of successful keeping and breeding.

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.

Cover story: Photographing reptiles and amphibians better
Whether out in the field or at home in a terrarium: Everyone wants beautiful photos of amphibians and reptiles. This has never been easier than in the age of digital photography. But a camera does not make a photographer. We show how to create studio conditions for terrarium animals at home. Even with smartphones, you can sometimes achieve good results – we give tips for this. An area largely neglected until now in amphibian and reptile photography is underwater images. Many species are regularly or exclusivelyto be found in the water. We offer a brief introduction to underwater photography.
