I've had many emails requesting the name of the winner of the RPM/JAG which was offered last issue by Austmorelias. I'm happy to announce that the winner was Ian Davidson from Central Qld. Congratulations Ian. Hopefully the team from Austmorelias have been in touch with you already to make arrangements for you to receive your prize.

In my opinion this issue is absolutely fabulous..... If somehow you can't find a copy, please get in touch with me and I'll steer you in the right direction.

cheers

Winners are Grinners



Winners are Grinners....
Yes thanks very much to Austmorelias & Scales & Tails for running the competition.

Ian received his magazine yesterday arvo in the mail & as usual quicky flicked throught it to see was there,bypassing the announcement of the comp as we never win anything. When he decided to read who won, he was very shocked to see his name as the winner & had to read a second time to make sure. He rang me at work to tell me, but I thought he was just joking untill I read it when I got home.

In our lifetime we have never won much at all. So this is a big surprise to us, & we are very sure that there is a lot of others out that wish they had won.
The snake will certianly find a good home here.
Once again thanks for the oportunity.

 

[MR_IAN_DAVO]

We will post a photo of the snake & the proud winner when the time comes.
Also to Joy at Scales & Tails.

Thanks Again
Ian & Paula Davidson.

Can't wait til it hits the newsagents, I reckon the albino adders article will be worth the cover price alone.

I disagree. There was an article in one of the last Reptiles Australia magazines on them. Same author, heck, even that issue's poster was an albino adder! Just hope there's enough on them so recently to warrant another large article on them.
What I am looking forward to however, is the article on Baritji monitors by James WATKINS, and the article by Brad Walker on reptile enrichment- something I think a lot of hobbyists overlook. I really wanna see Crocosaurus Cove too!
Keep up the good work guys!

sounds like a good read,will hit the newsagents next week then

oh and perhaps the new article on albino adders is an update on how the project is going ,i like the variety,and its also good to see updates on things like the past,even if it was in another mag,the lace monitor triplet update in a previous issue is a good example,keep up the good work
