I think that this latest issue is good. | I totally agree Slateman , it's easy to critize !
. Have you ever tried to run a business or put something like that together yourself ? .
Sure , there may be a few things that could be a little bit better , time will tell .
Good on the mag for having a go . Cheers |

| | | | The fact is.
If you pay for something, weather it be a book or a landscapeing job, if your not happy with it you have a right to say so.
Others on the other hand have no right to try and tell you what your opinion should be.
If thoughs that like it can pass there opinion, So can thoughs that find it poor.
I think its a little light for the cost myself. It takes me longer to read my commic for half the price and twice the enjoyment.
I think paying the cost of the mag to get all the advertising we see everyday on all the avalible trade sites is a little over the top.
And its not hard to see that a very large part of the content is advertising.
I have no interest in doing better so dont waste your breath going down that line. But im not going to accept a poor product as quality either.
It is and most likely will continue to get better. But taking to long to do so could be costly. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: Melbourne | | | | Thank you for coments and essential feedback on the latest issue, there are always notes I make when I finally get an issue out and happily will take negatives and positives from each issue. Distribution was increased again in this issue as we try to match demand. The albino was a very hard piece to put together due to the large number of herpers to collect images, text etc and the other photographers required to get the issue in time....Whew.
The Thick tail gecko piece I think was a good detailed work finished off with a wide range of animals some never seen before. I was hoping you would all have commented on the Chameleons of Madasgascar poster ....Any feedback on the poster would be great. Reptiles Australia is very young compared to other mags and has been a proven successful Australian product and is written by you Aussie writers, images from Aussie photographers and is printed in Australia by you for you. How lucky you guys are to have such a great friendly forum APS to turn to and discuss all things herps......... |

Although RA is very glossy | It is bit harsh to compare US magazine with extremely large customer range with australian magazine.
There is just not enough hobbyists in Australia to give same financial support.
The US magazine is great, but it is US magazine not our. |

I am certain that Reptiles Australia will get only better in future.
As some of the members pointed there is always room for improvement.
I can imagine how difficult must be to put together such a complicated product like this.
All the images, stories , advertisements. And arrange production, distribution to all subscribers plus distributions to news agencies. I wander how easy is to get payment from all the people who buy wholesale. To keep accounting must be nightmare also. Most people don't see the other side of the story. It is hard to put things properly together and end up with right product with small profit to keep going.
Well done. |

I could see improvements in each edition and I found them pretty interesting and a good read.
The snake road test edition was great.
