| Great topic! Yes, I get it and read each one from cover to cover! I like pretty much everything about it, but the stunning photography, lengthy articles, and the way that its not just about herps, but people who work with herps, are always a plus! First off its too short! Secondly, I would like to see more "Living Vivarium" articles produced more frequently. All of the columns and topics are good, and I thought I'd enter that the most recent vet article "RoboCroc" was amazing! Once again, I would have more Living Vivarium articles.

| I pretty much read it front to back,often reading an artical more than once. As oneWorld said,the Robocroc was amazing,and I think there should be more articals like that. I do think that there should be more magazines totaly dedicated to one species of herp such as one artical describes the basic living requirments while another tells how to breed them and there is a vet story and how to build a terrarium for that animal,blah blah blah all about that one animal.I'd think that would be cool.

Do you have a subscription?
Yes! Since last September.Do you buy it on newsstands?
Only the annual, because I have a subscription. What do you like about it?
I love how REPTILES finds different experts on every reptile topic imaginable to provide insight and experience with many different reptile husbandry related topics. I also love the variety REPTILES has in each issue. Not like about it?
I don't like how the recent issues have been focused on one specific topic (i.e. Foods and Supplements, Tortoises, Lighting, Caging, Snakes, etc). I prefer when there is a lot of variety on all types of reptiles and their care. Favorite columns?
I usually enjoy the cover stories that profile one species of reptile the most. They provide so much inforamation. I also enjoy the articles about breeding and species profiles on rarer species. I, and I'm sure many others, would love it if a rare species profile was added. Favorite topics?
Rare species. What would you do differently?
Add more variety (no "All-x" issues) and more rare species profiles. But overall REPTILES is a great magazine and certainly my favorite!

| What I love about Reptiles Magazine is that it does a good job of discussing a variety of reptiles. What I don't like is that I'm unable to buy back issues of regular paper magazines. There are only digital copies available of older Reptile Magazines for sell. Overall, I really like the magazine!

Well, it's been a while...I'll start a topic to hopefully get this thing going again. Discuss REPTILES magazine. Do you have a subscription? yep Do you buy it on newsstands? have a subscription What do you like about it? all about reptiles Not like about it? needs more amphibian talk Favorite columns? contests, herp inqueries, retailer spotlight, breeder's notebook, living with reptiles, and wanted Favorite topics? news, caresheets, rare species What would you do differently? add more amphibians stuff, more on setting up your snake, amphibian, turtle, and lizard tank R.M. im setting up a dart frog vivarium so went on the Net to look for ideas, so it would have been neat to see something in reptiles
