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.

Nordamerikanische WassernatternAufzucht europäischer Landschildkröten Inhalt: Halsbandleguane gehören schon lange zu den beliebtesten Echsen im Terrarium. Sie sind farbenprächtig, werden sehr zutraulich und können gut vermehrt werden. Aber auch bei diesen scheinbar so bekannten Evergreens der Terraristik gibt es viel Neues zu berichten. So stellen wir nicht nur in Bild und Text einige „exotische“ Crotaphytus-Arten vor, sondern auch spektakuläre Farbformen des Östlichen Halsbandleguans, von denen einige glücklicherweise bei uns inzwischen gehalten werden. Natürlich darf ein ausgiebiger Haltungs- und Nachzuchtbericht zu C. collaris nicht fehlen. Und über neue Erkenntnisse zur Überwinterung berichtet der wohl bekannteste Experte für diese Tiere, Robert Schumacher.
