Cover story: Monitor lizards and terrariums

Many monitor lizards are among the most sought-after species in the terrarium hobby. Hobby keepers have made a decisive contribution to our knowledge of these charismatic lizards, discovering species and describing their behaviour. Some island monitor lizards are considered endangered and their trade represents a risk factor. At the same time, breeding successes are now also regularly achieved with rare species. In the cover story of the upcoming TERRARIA/elaphe, we will be focussing on the many facets of the mutual relationship between monitor lizards and 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.

Bearded dragon
The bearded dragon (Pogona)Area of origin:The native habitat of the bearded dragon (Pogona) is Australia.Habitat:The bearded dragon can be found in semi-deserts, steppes and tree steppes. The bearded dragon is actually quite common in its natural habitat. The bearded dragon likes to live alone. However, their habitat in the wild is close to other members of their species. The males occupy a territory that covers several square metres. They sit and nod frequently. They also like to spend time in populated and agricultural areas.The matching camouflage colouring and the spiny scales help the contours of the bearded dragons to blend in with their surroundings.Keeping:Temperature and humidity are very important when keeping bearded dragons. The average daytime temperature is between 30° and 35 °C. However, the bearded dragon should have different temperature zones between which it can change. At night, the temperature should not be allowed to drop below 20 °C. The optimum humidity is between 30 % and 40 %. Humidity should not exceed 40 % in the long term, as this could lead to fungal skin diseases.What size of terrarium for bearded dragons?As a pet shop, we generally recommend the bigger the better. However, 150 × 60 × 100 cm is the minimum. The higher the better, bearded dragons love to sunbathe.Bearded dragons can be kept very well on their own. Only in sufficiently large and well-structured terrariums is it possible to keep a small harem (one male with 2-3 females) or a pure group of females.Food:Bearded dragons are so-called omnivorous animals. They need fresh green food as well as insects. You have to be very careful with too many insects as this unfortunately leads to obesity. The older the bearded dragon gets, the more they become vegetarians and sometimes refuse insects altogether.Feeding example:MO: courgette, chicory, chives, carrot, hay, Golliwoog food plantMI: Endive, daisies, dandelion, hay and two insects (crickets, desert locusts or zophobas etc.)FR: Pumpkin, rocket, hazelnut leaves, hay, Golliwoog food plantSO:Chicory, dandelion, desert locusts, Argentine cockroaches, hayWhen feeding green food, care must be taken to ensure that it is not too wet and that it is cut into bite-sized pieces. As bearded dragons in the wild rarely have access to juicy, fresh grass, hay helps to make it drier and more digestible.If diarrhoea occurs, more hay can be added to the food, it usually disappears after a week, otherwise a vet who is familiar with reptiles should be consulted.
