i have some fantastic other mags, blow this one away by 10 times over, just not easy to get..

i hope it gets better, if it dosnt i wont get it after the next one...

The magazine will only be as good as the contributions it gets, it does say inside the back cover that article contributions are welcome, so perhaps you could write something more interesting for the magazine..

I dont think the magazine is 100% aimed at the forumite, I think its aimed at 99% of the customers we see walk through our doors who dont use forums, the magazine has a lot of adverts and isnt it great to see such a large number of reptile industry businesses supporting something for the greater good of reptilekeeping on the whole, Its a bit of a risk advertising in an unknown mag, could be money down the drain, but i was pleased to see so many other business backing this magazine. Now all it needs is the publics support in purchasing it and contributing towards it.

PS. I have nothing to do with this magazine other than advertising in it, i just think its a good thing for the hobby to have its own "newstand" magazine.

Thought it was a good read but loads about tortoises and not alot about other reps but by the looks of what they have planned for the next issue it looks like it should be good

i will be entering the comp for a free incubator so dont even think about it everybody else

.... im not sure if its just our copy but..... it says 'June 2009' on the front?

was thinking that this may have been the original release date... but have decided to bring the release forward! to me it seems to reflect in the mag itself...a bit rushed in respects of not many articles and as said before... too many pages of adverts. although i do agree that its good of the companies to put money into a new mag especially in this area of interest and current climate.

a good start though

will still buy the next issue though... see how things turn out.

Not bad,quite well laid out,but very basic all the way through.Id like to see a more varied series of articles for both beginners and the more experienced.Certainly got potential though...

Got my copy today,
I agree with what seems to be the majority opinion...not bad at all for a first issue, but could do with a few more detailed articles and such like..Quite tempted to even try writing one myself in the future..

I shall certainly carry on getting it though..here's hoping for a bright future
