Newsletter, odds and sods

It's been a while. I just sent out the latest "Keeping Reptiles" newsletter. There have a been a number of issues since my last post.

The last two have included an article about Black and White Argentine Tegus and there is currently a three part series on Diamond Pythons. While the articles have been published before I thought it worthwhile re-printing Stan Charis's excellent information sheet on the breeding and maintenance of Diamond Pythons. These, in my opinion, are one of the most attractive of the Australian pythons. They are misunderstood as most people see pythons as tropical. Diamond pythons are a temperate python, living down the Eastern sideboard of Australia, as far south as Victoria. This means the requirements for their captivity and care are different from most pythons. They can in fact be kept very easily but there has been a tendency to have the temperatures and humidity too high.

There are a lot of articles to be found in the newsletter, including archives, at
Newsletter Archives.

There are also articles on reptile and snake cage making at Reptile Cage Plans Articles.

I am currently working on some other snake cage designs so these should be ready soon.
