New reptile Mag

[Darbz]

I would imagine the reason it has lots of ads at the moment is because starting a new mag is, quite literally, like starting a new business...you need to cover alot of overheads to get the thing published in the first place. They would be foolish to use all of their profits from other mags (none of which I'd say are 'mainstream') to start this one in case it fails...hopefully once it has become a bit more established the amount of money they need to raise for each issue will drop, and so will the amount of ads.

To be fair, I am not bothered by most of the ads - loads of sites and shops I didn't know existed.
I wasn't comfortable with the full page advert for the pelleted tortoise food. Especially as they had an article on the proper care of torts.

I like the new mag, and i suppose there was going to be loads of adds, as they need the money to print the first issuse etc.

just picked up my copy today!
very impressed, don't mind the ads, helps you to discover shops you may not have known about
think this may be the same people that do practical fishkeeping, if so it can only get better!

I picked up copy's of issue one and issue two today in local shop. Fabulous. High quality, I look forward to being a regular purchaser. I love poking around on the net and picking up info from the forums, however, its great to have a magazine. Something to actually hold and move between rooms with.
