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.

Reptilia 116 - Aquatic turtles - Perfect pets
Tarantula Oligoxystre diamantinensisChristmas in the African bushIntroduction to keeping venomous snakesContents: Cover story: Aquatic turtles – perfect petsAquatic turtles have enjoyed great popularity for decades. For a long time, however, small baby turtles were offered in pet shops for little money and ended up mainly with keepers who were not terrarium keepers and simply had no idea about these animals. The consequences are well known: overgrown red-eared sliders and other aquatic turtles that were abandoned or ended up in rescue centres. As a result, aquatic turtle keeping has fallen into disrepute. However, aquatic turtles are wonderful pets if you look after them properly and acquire the necessary expertise. We offer an overview of the species currently being kept and provide you with the tools you need to enjoy these charming turtles for a long time.

Reptilia 81 - Hook-nosed snakes
Samar cobraPantanal flatback turtleGalápagos
Contents:
The hook-nosed snakes of the genus Heterodon are currently experiencing an unimagined terraristic boom. Previously rather underappreciated, various very attractive colour forms have recently been bred, and this has led to a real boom. But even the normally coloured animals – and the natural spectrum of the eastern hook-nosed snake in particular covers an extremely wide range of colours – are extremely lovable terrarium pets.We present all species in detail, offer detailed breeding reports even on rarer forms, and a splendidly illustrated overview of current developments in colour variety breeding is of course also included.
