Terraria 25 - Livebearing Reptiles Breeding of tarantulasDiadem snakeSpur-thighed tortoise Contents: Not all reptiles lay eggs. A whole range of species bear live young, to the delight of many terrarium enthusiasts. However, even though the often problematic artificial incubation of clutches is no longer necessary: Even with livebearing reptiles, many things can go wrong when breeding them in the terrarium, and keepers often find it difficult to recognise the causes of problems. Uwe Schlüter presents the different forms of livebearing in reptiles and explains everything you need to know to breed these species as successfully as possible. In addition, we present some livebearing reptiles in the terrarium, including the Madagascar dog-headed boa, Sanzinia madagascariensis, or the strange crocodile night lizard, Lepidophyma flavimaculatum.

Terraria 50 - Monitor lizards in a terrariumDrinking behaviour of snakesAndaman lizardsContents:Cover story: Monitor lizards and terrariumsMany 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.TerritorialHerpetoramaCover storyHistory of keeping monitor lizards in Germany and SchweizerBeat AkeretThe blue monitor lizard.
