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 23 - The Green Tree Python Construction of an irrigation systemGuadeloupe Contents: Hardly any other snake enjoys as much reverent enthusiasm as Morelia viridis, the Green Tree Python. Even die-hard snake haters can hardly escape the aesthetic fascination radiated by the beautifully green-coloured, elegantly “coiled” pythons on a branch. And then there are the brightly red, yellow or green coloured juveniles! This snake is correspondingly popular in terraristics, and although it is still not an easy species to keep, it has made an impressive triumphant advance in our terrariums in recent years. A good two decades ago, breeding itself was considered a sensation, but today a wide variety of targeted colour breeds are already circulating. The cover story of the upcoming TERRARIA reports on the latest developments in this giant snake – you can look forward to previously unpublished information as well as magnificent photos!
