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.

Reptilia 112 - Venomous Spiders & Spider Venoms
Building an outdoor enclosure for tortoisesPrairie horned snakeCubaContents: Cover story: Venomous spiders & spider venomsAll spiders are venomous, including tarantulas, which are particularly popular in terrariums. Nevertheless, they are largely harmless to humans, but are often considered dangerous. This becomes a problem when legislators believe they need to protect the public from these “dangerous animals”. But how dangerous are venomous spiders really? We provide an overview, take a tour of the spider fauna in Australia, the kingdom of all venomous animals, and cover the keeping of venomous spiders in terrariums, from tarantulas to black widows.
