Herpetoculture House Vol. 2 Issue 4 Issue 4 I have to be honest about Vol. 2 Issue 4; this was  the breakout issue for us. With the new contributors and the quality of talent in the writers we had this issue just brought us to another level of greatness. Ever since this issue, we’ve kept trying to make this better. We had the Breeders Spotlight, Jungle Jo’s Activity Pages, Conservation Concepts, Jim’s Reptile Adventures, and that’s not counting the feature articles! Featured articles included Mountain Horned Dragons by Tammy Russell, while her husband Jordan drops into to write about Nephrurus. The Russell’s run a small (gigantic in awesomeness) reptile operation that rivals anything I’ve seen. You can check them out at California Breeders Union. Jason Richardson writes about the captive care of Viper Boas, and Herpetoculture 101 covers the care of the classic Corn Snake.
