Contents:

The Emydidae family includes some of the best-known and most popular turtles. In addition to our native European pond turtle, these include the North American ornamental and decorative turtles of the genera Pseudemys and Trachemys as well as the Terrapene box turtles. In the cover story, we provide an up-to-date overview of this interesting group and present a detailed article about the magnificent tortoise, Graptemys oculifera. We also shed light on the role that European pond turtles can play in biology lessons.

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.

Terraria 55 - Snakes that eat invertebrates Túngara frogEast Madagascar Contents: Cover story: It works without mice: Snakes that eat invertebrates Most snakes in terraria have to be fed on rodents. However, there are a whole range of often lesser known but highly interesting species that exclusively eat invertebrates such as insects, snails and others. We present a selection of the most interesting representatives and discuss in detail the dwarf snakes of the genus Eirenis and the brown snakes of the genus Storeria.
