    Hi there
    could one of our keen Australian herpetologists recomend to me which is the best reptile keeping magazine, is it reptiles Australia or the other one, which I think is called Australian Reptile Keeper?
    Thanks

    Nah I'm updating the magazine subcriptions at the library where I work and think that as we have a bird, fish, dog and cat magazine we should have a reptile one as well.

    I subscribe to Reptiles Australia. It's been going for several years now and just seems to get better and better.

    I don't subscribe to Scales and Tails, because I don't think I need to subscribe to two Reptile mags. From what I've seen of it, it looks just as good as Reptiles Australia.

    :p

    Thanks.
    The issues of both mags that I looked through at the newsagency seemed to be very different. Reptiles Australia seemed to be concentrating on wild animals while Scales seemed to be more about keeping them, which is what I wanted.
    I wanted to make sure that I wasn't judging wrongly based on just one issue.
