Terraria 32 - Ornamental horned frogs

Green-eyed geckos
Hibernation of tortoises

Contents:

They seem to be all about their mouths: horned frogs do not captivate with delicate forms, but rather, alongside their colourful splendour, simply through their presence. They are frogs with character. These perennial favourites in the terrarium world are now also being bred in diverse, very attractive forms. Whilst the number of species in the terrarium has remained very limited for decades, new and exciting species have finally made their way into the ‘Hobby’ in recent times. In our cover story, we introduce you to the attractive representatives of this genus, describe in detail their care and breeding, and discuss current developments.

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.

Herpeton, Greek Land Turtles

Herpeton - Greek tortoisesGreek tortoises are among the most frequently kept reptiles. Dipl. Biol. Uwe Dost has been keeping Greek tortoises for over 20 years and regularly breeds them. In his book, he passes on his knowledge and experience from his many years of experience with Greek tortoises. The book is particularly practice-orientated, as the author deals with experienced and inexperienced tortoise keepers on an almost daily basis and is very familiar with the questions and needs of pet owners. In addition to keeping tortoises outdoors in the garden, this book also describes keeping them in terrariums in detail. Whatever the reason for keeping tortoises (temporarily) in an indoor terrarium, the terrarium must be set up and technically equipped to meet the needs of the animals. Hibernation is also discussed in particular detail and demonstrated using illustrated "step-by-step" instructions. Contents: Lifestyle and behaviour in the natural habitat, setting up an outdoor enclosure, setting up and technical equipment of a terrarium, nutrition, hibernation, reproduction, rearing young animals, health, and much more.
