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 117 - Amphibian raritiesFlooridaNight lizardIberian adderContents: Cover story: Amphibian raritiesIn all amphibian groups there are species which, for various reasons, are not kept as frequently in terrariums as fire salamanders, dyer frogs etc.: some species are only imported rarely and in small numbers, some have no lobby, others are highly sought after but not easy to breed.In the cover story of this issue of REPTILIA, we present such rarities in detail - with captivating photos and detailed reports on extremely pleasing breeding successes. We also visit a project in South America in which species sought after by terrarists are selectively propagated - and which simultaneously promotes science, nature conservation and environmental education.EditorialMAGAZINEDATES WESTERN HERP PERSPECTIVESThe fate of books, part 1B.
