Sadly, the magazine that started servicing the herp community many years ago and once enjoyed the monopoly on the reptile publications market is gone. It's a great loss to all of us but also a reminder how important it is now to support Scales & Tails, the only surviving reptile magazine. Perhaps the word "surviving" is not a best choice of words because S&T are actually thriving thanks to their professional management and enthusiasm.
On a personal note, I supported RA for many years with my articles and photographs and in the end I didn't even get "thanks and good by" from the publisher Alex Lannan and I wasn't the only one. For some reason he decided not to respond to any emails and phone calls for the last few months and sadly, there are still some unsettled issues between us. Not very honorable way to exit.
The Reptiles Australia Editor John McGrath was kind enough to return all unpublished material to all contributors and will not hesitate to forward my articles to S&T next week.
Cheers
