Question Practical Reptile Keeping Magazine - What do you want to see included?

I'm interested to know what aspects of the magazine people find particularly useful/enjoyable and what people would like to see more of? You can vote for more than one choice.

Also does anybody have any specific ideas about articles they would particularly like to see inlcuded in future issues?

I would like to see foam background and viv enclosure tutorials which are really good.
Also what I would like to see much less of is an advert on nearly every other page, almost as bad as American reptile magazines.

aye but that keeps the cost down, hardly any ads means a much more expensive magazine.

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

I don't really want to see leopard geckos and beardies, corn snakes and the same old things.

I think that it would be really good of there was every issue, a rare/less common species kept in captivity. Or something with a bit of mystery about it, if that makes sense?

Does anybody have any suggestions for specific species? I.e., something you've always been interested in but can't seem to find a good article on? I'd be interested to see pieces about blue-tailed and green tree monitors for one, and maybe some of the other chameleon species like parsons and pygmies.

I'd be really interested in Boelen's pythons, I know there not very often kept, but it would be really interesting to read about them

Like to see issues covered which for some, may appear contentious;
ie1. Hatchling Terrapin trade?
2. Tortoise Farms?
3. Reptile Farming in general?
4. Modern Reptile Keeping; a road to domestication?
