Customer Reviews

The only game in town--and not a bad job
Reptiles strives to achieve a balance between articles for children and beginners, articles for herpetologists and field photographers, and advanced keepers. Occasionally, it manages this. The truth is that Reptiles and The Vivarium magazines should never have been merged--Reptiles should have remained an invaluable resource for beginners to the hobby, with The Vivarium focusing on in-depth articles for advanced hobbyists.

But, they WERE merged.

There ARE no other paper reptile magazines in the US any longer. This is it. If you own reptiles and amphibians, get this magazine--it's a good way to read up on species you may not have researched before, to see what new products are coming onto the market, to track shows, and to generally be entertained by lots of pretty pictures. You can't beat the price for all of that--you'd have to buy a LOT of books to get all of that information and content.

It doesn't do the best job it could do, but it does do a fairly good job, which makes it worth subscribing to--even if you're an advanced keeper. There's no other source of herp-oriented bathroom reading material. :D

Great magazine, nice pictures
This is a good magazine if you are curious about reptiles and amphibians. It has lovely pictures, and the contents, although scientifically rigorous, are accessible to any reader. It is a nice leisure reading.

Reptile magazine
I don't receive this magazine, but I buy it for my
grandson. He has been receiving it for three years.
He loves it and asks for it every year.
