Terraria 20 - Diverse poison dart frogs Pacific boasComb spiders of the genus Phoneutria Contents: Poison dart frogs are the most popular amphibians in terraristics, and they have been successfully kept and bred for decades. So you should know everything there is to know about the "jewels of the rainforest" by now? Far from it! These magnificent frogs always have tangible surprises and novelties in store for us, even with seemingly well-known species. In a spectacularly illustrated report, Frank Steinmann looks at the countless local forms of the golden tree frog, Dendrobates auratus, and reveals why many of the names circulating in terraristics for the colour forms are misleading. Ivonne Meuche has been researching strawberry frogs in Costa Rica for years and reports on the most interesting results that have not yet been scientifically published. And we also show photos of a beautiful, newly discovered and as yet undescribed dendrobatid, the Golden Supatá poison dart frog, which André Schreiber observed in Colombia.EditorialMagazine Snake systematics special: New systematics of South American Pit vipers Species status again for the Dark Tiger Python, subspecies status for the Sulawesi Dwarf Tiger Python Make five out of one – The new systematics of the chain snake complex Autumn TERRARISTIKA in Hamm Legal: Again: Right of retention of the animal The aga toad – or how to benefit from an aggressively invasive species On the distribution of Hemidactylus mabouia in Paraguay Test run addendum TERRAglobalThe frilled lizard: A miniature dinosaurKarl-Heinz SWITAKBack in the fieldMaik DOBIEYTITLE THEME: Diverse poison dart frogs"Further notes" on Dendrobates auratus – the variability of the golden tree frog in PanamaFrank STEINMANNIn the area of Ranitomeya dorisswansonaeAndré SCHREIBEROophaga pumilio – The strawberry frog in the spotlight of researchIvonne MEUCHE"Rana dorada de Supatá" – the Golden Supatá poison dart frog from ColombiaAndré SCHREIBERPacific boas in the terrarium – Candoia carinata and Candoia paulsoniRenè MEIERKORDThe Northern Pine Snake (Pituophis melanoleucus melanoleucus) in the wild and terrarium.

An identification key helps, you to differentiate between the individual species. In addition, all important aspects of keeping bearded dragons are explained in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manner, such as decision-making aids before buying, handling the animals, sex determination, species-appropriate care and nutrition, possible diseases and, finally, successful breeding.
