Reptilia 97 - Nano terraristics

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.

Reptilia 83 - ArgentinaAmphibian of the year: the pond newtUsambara bush viperPoison dart frog Ameerega trivittata - the orange variety Contents:Argentina is still an insider tip among travellers. The Pampa state is one of the most diverse countries in the world and is home to an extremely rich herpetofauna. In this huge South American country, you can marvel at sub-Antarctic glaciers, climb mountains almost reaching the 7,000 metre mark, hike through steaming rainforests, marvel at perhaps the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, traverse gigantic swamps or sweat in some of the hottest spots on the planet. And eat more fantastic beef than anywhere else. REPTILIA has asked leading Latin American experts on the country's reptiles and amphibians to introduce us to this "blank spot" on the map, which is not only home to some terraristic or well-known highlights such as the southern boa, black caiman, yellow anaconda or Argentine tortoise, but also to a large number of species that are largely unknown to us but are extremely interesting and fascinating - from the high-mountain iguana to the black toad.Table of contentsEDITORIALMAGAZINESeveral amphibian and reptile species newly included in the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITIS)Alexander Gutsche Conservation status WA II for the entire genus AgalychnisTobias Eisenberg The earthquake in Chile in 2010Johara Bourke Information conference "Dangerous animals - keeping, trade and risks"Florian GieseDATESWESTERN HERP PERSPECTIVES"Florgia Herping"from B.
