Reptilia 84 - Near-natural Terrariums
Northern pine snake
Rack keeping
Norway
Contents:
Creating near-natural terrariums – is that even possible? Does it make sense? And what should the so often described “small section of nature” in the literature look like? Or does the future of terraristics lie in rack keeping? In our cover story we discuss controversially and present practical options for designing terrariums.

Geckos
CHF 28.50
Geckos in the terrarium by Astrid FalkThe book offers a comprehensive introduction to geckos and their species-appropriate keeping in terrariums. It explains what you need to think about before buying a gecko and what preparations should be made. The book describes in detail how the terrarium is technically equipped and set up. The care of the animals, their special features and behaviour, their diet, reproduction and rearing of young animals are described, as well as diseases and husbandry problems with tried and tested suggestions for prevention and treatment. Individual gecko species that are particularly suitable for keeping and breeding in terrariums are portrayed in detail in the second part of the book.
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.
