Alterna article?

Looks like there's a big fat article on Gray-banded Kings in this month's (April) issue of Reptiles. At any rate, there's a big alterna on the cover with a huge font saying "The Gray-banded Kingsnake". Looks promising to me. Who wrote it?

Looking forward to getting it in the mail.

>>> Who wrote it?

Can't find any info online, but if I had to guess, I would guess Gerold and Cindy Merker.

That'd be my guess too. The photography on the front looks very Gerald-esque.

You guys stink! I hauled butt to the local Barnes and Noble and they only had the March Reptiles with Green Tree Pythons... It figures.

The last article was in 1996 written by Gerold Merker. We need some of our local folks to submit some papers to Reptiles. Joe F, Troy H, John F... You guys have a wealth of information.

Not that I don't appreciate the information from Gerold, it is very appreciated. It is just that we don't get much love from Reptiles Magazine so...

Best Wishes,

Yeah, I think the retail outlets are typically a month or two behind the subscribers.

There was also this article by Mike Murphy in 2001 about getting baby gray-bands to feed...
