Köhler's tortoises are among the "Top Ten" species of tortoises kept in German-speaking countries. The author Ralf Czybulinski is very passionate about providing as species-appropriate care as possible for these South American reptiles. He focuses his discussions on the animals from the Guiana States region and thoroughly describes their habitats and the necessary conditions for their care in human captivity. This is the first book that exclusively deals with the care of Köhler's tortoises. It covers all aspects of keeping, caring for, and breeding, including young, sub-adult, and sexually mature animals. Special emphasis is placed on the conditions in winter gardens, greenhouses, and structured outdoor enclosures. The care during the winter season is illustrated very clearly for indoor enclosures and greenhouses.
