how about bredli pythons idont think reptiles aus has covered this species and the hypo form is becoming so popular check out SXRs prices and waiting list..Also no medium incubation techniques would be useful.
cant wait for new issue!

I love the DIY idea.... However, (I know we're not supposed to be saying 'no' to anything)... i think there's a strong chance that won't be possible. So many people depend on building snake enclosures and rock walls for a living, it probably would be a bit damaging to their businesses to have every man and his dog with the same skills they live off. Especially as many pay to have their ads in reptiles australia anyway.

This is a great idea though. I agree with sdaji and anyone else who said hybrid/scaarfing articles would be good. It wouldn't be like it turns out here on an amatuer discussion board where people can throw insults around like they're candy. A proffessional author could write about the implications of power feeding and hybridization.

For example, all the negative impacts hybridization could have on the environment. Many people aren't aware and it would be good to provide a source of education for them. Same with scaarfing... i was told this leads to egg binding in females.. it would be great for a proffesional author/herptologist to write about these issues with some intelligence whilst allowing readers to decide whether they want to go ahead with the activity. No 'this is right' 'this is wrong' just 'this could happen'....

the differences in some species like: the difference between EWD's and GWD's? or the difference between stimsons, *****rens and spotted pythons? or which is the best out of the morelia spilota group?
and it would be good to see which is rated better out of the same species

 

[kakariki]

Well since breeding season is upon us how about methods of keeping newly purchased snakes quarantined from the rest of your collection and what sort of things you should be doing when you first get a new snake like worming, checking for mites, retained sheds etc.

With regard to the quarantine i mean more along the lines of good husbandry eg disinfection of their cages, how long you average reptile enthusiast should be keeping animals quarantined for etc.
