Why is it so easy to be critical about Aussies "having a go"
If anyone thinks Reptiles Australia magazine needs improvement - get in there and help out
don't whinge and knock it
Its a top quality publication and suits more people than not
Keep on Herpin Simon and crew

This is good point. I think that consequence should help and post some article about interesting subject to magazine. They are looking for experienced writers all the time.
Go for it consequence I will be looking for some interesting reading from you in next issue.
Show them what some of us from APS can come with.

Sandee | If critisism is due then why pretend otherwise.
Lets face it, people are easily fobbed off with inferior product and i stand by my opinion that to date the magazine is inferior.
I dont feel ive whinged( typical though, one disagrees so immediatley denotes the other as a whiner and unfairly critical of someone who is vulnerable), Ive made valid and credible comment. You on the other hand feel that this somehow impinges upon some inalienable right to be mediocre.
If they pay me i might be interested but they may prefer to approach a designer, not a visual artist. I dont need to be a TV producer to know whats good, bad and mediocre on the box and I dont need to be a publisher to have an opinion on a magazine..
I still think it has a way to go, thus the mooring line comment. Its a metaphor that implies they have a grander vessel they could berth there.
Thats my opinion and probably more valid than yours Sanndee as it is informed, educated, erudite and without predjudice. So stick a smiley on that.

Hi Slatey,
Letterboxes are great....we need a new one ours is almost toppling over hehehe
Do you do granite for bench tops??
There is always room for improvement for anything...being a magazine or whatever.....I still think the Reptiles Australia magazine is fantastic and photos are top-notch!!!!

Slammed, ouch.
I'd prefer to stick with the crowd and say that Reptiles Australia has a far higher quality of articles then both Reptile Care and Reptiles magazine. The detailed keeper articles seem to be better written then most other mags. Probably the only mag that outclasses it at the moment is Monitor however it is only release at half the frequency of Reptiles Australia.
Probably the only negative feedback I have for the latest issue is the layout of the Albino story, having a story continue 4 pages later looks really fragmented and it seemed as though advertisements were crammed into the middle pages of that story. Besides that I'm happy to renew my subscription |

The US Reptiles mag has excellent articles on Australian species on a regular basis, i find the articles to be far more in-depth, compared to RA.
Although RA is very glossy

Fair go, at least we now have a magazine in Australia and it is improving all the time. I have every issue and look at the first one compared to the latest and it is a huge improvement and it will conitnue to improve.
Australian Birdkeeper was also a bit iffy at the start (I have first issue) and now it is a world renowned magazine and I truly believe RA will get there also, so how about credit were it's due and support.
Criticism is welcome but be constructive and offer ways to improve, not just saying it's crap.
