Cover story: In search of reptiles on the Greek islands
Just in time for the summer holidays: The Greek islands are among our most popular holiday destinations, and at the same time they are home to a highly diverse herpetofauna. The perfect opportunity, then, to combine the family holiday with a herping trip. Or simply spend the whole day on the lookout for reptiles and take a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean in between. We offer a photographic overview of the islands by nature photographer Benny Trapp. Travelogues from Kos, Corfu and the Sporades give you a taste of what to expect – or simply let your mind wander on balmy summer evenings at home.

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.

Bede - Your Hobby Chameleons
Rolf Müller and Ulrike Walbröl have been successfully breeding chameleons for years. As members of the DGHT’s Chameleon Working Group and contact persons for the Chameleon Hotline, they are thoroughly familiar with the problems faced by beginners in chameleon keeping.
Here, they have brought together their knowledge and experience for the first time and, in collaboration with Dominik Kieselbach, have created a book for beginners unlike any other previously available on the German market.
