Though I think having a few pages at the end totally full of ads and no ads until then, might make it less intrusive?

Yeah that's what I was meaning as long as they dont go down the same route DVD Review went with sex line ads as there was no place for it. Ads reptile related at the end without cutting inbetween articles and pictures.

Basic husbandry is the one i would most like to see, even for the most easy species.
One thing that you never see in any mag is cage set up. I dont mean logs branches ect, i mean detailed descriptions of of how to set up a viv, rack, tort table. pics of where to put heating, lighting, probe censor's ect.
Lots of new comers get very confused with this, i have been to help a few people on many occasions that wherent sure or were having troubles getting temps.

i would like to see an amphibian article not written by dartfrog and designed around the products that only they sell!

how about shop tours like in practical fishkeeping? i'm always after a full list of what rep stores are where whenever i visit somewhere

All of the above plus more on reptiles in the field, those working to protect them, stuff looking behind the seans at cf farms and conservation projects. Interviews with long term keepers, stuff on the history of keeping, more on the politics side and a lot more on world wide trade like cities figures and the truth on whats killing wild animals.

Basicly a cross of the current prk with a bit of reptiles magazine and the european reptilia with a dash of the old and now gone captive breeding/reptilian/vivairum magazines.

I dont ask for much do i?

Also some decent pics/posters.

A classifieds page would be nice, and more Q & A's.

I agree with less intrusive ads (majority in back) or more content. Ive stopped purchasing it because i found it was becoming a glorified UK reptile shop address book, which is a real shame. I understand the magazine needs funding but im sure most of the articles are not paid for.

Might pick another issue up in near future to see how things are progressing.

Crawl Cay boas! Yeah definitely more how-to kinda stuff. Step by step stuff like making dart frog vivs in the amhib section.
