Cover story: Crocodiles – primeval animals in danger

When the great dinosaurs ruled the world, crocodiles were already lurking for prey in the swamps of that era. These reptiles have not changed their design significantly for millions of years – a success story of evolution. It is only today that many species are on the brink of extinction because humans are killing them en masse and, above all, destroying their habitats. With the cover story of the next REPTILIA, a high-calibre team of experts opens a series of articles that shed light on the crucial role that zoos can play in saving these living fossils. Dieter Gramentz also presents the precarious situation of the swamp and saltwater crocodile in Sri Lanka, and Ralf Sommerlad reports on a hopeful project to preserve the extremely rare Siamese crocodile.

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.
