Thanks Ash, I'm so glad that you like it, and your help and encouragement is always appreciated. Every issue brings its own dramas but it's always good to overcome them and bring a great issue to our readers. Subscribers will start to receive their copies early next week. I always enjoy that time as well.

Well I received my issue in the post today, probably a bit late but only due my subscription renewal was a xmas gift.

A great mag once again. I love the story from Gavin Bedford about his adventures to get some Oenpelli Pythons into captivity, I wish him lots of success in his mission. The other articles look very interesting as well but I could not help reading Gavin's article straight up.

Cheers
Ian

I just grabbed a copy from the news agents.
Joy you really should put a warning on the cover ... there is a picture on page 40 that is a little disturbing and a little warning would have been nice

P.S it's issue 21 not 22

I liked the article on live food, the mention of Albino Woodies hahaha

Thanks everyone. So glad you are enjoying reading it. We enjoyed putting it together as usual. We have a great team of writers for sure who we appreciate very much and without whose help we couldn't bring you such an interesting read every issue.

And yep..... I had a blonde moment, it's Issue 21. lol. sorry!!!!!!

Dickyknee, you just never know what/who you'll find in our mag, that's for sure. lol. Hope you coped ok?

Subscribers, your copies should be arriving in the next day or two if they haven't already as they've all been posted. Stockists, your copies are being sent out yesterday/today/tomorrow, and most newsagencies will now be starting to receive theirs from Gordon & Gotch over the next few days as well. All's under control!

Enjoy everyone!
