went to a reptile zoo on sunday DUW WARNING over 100 pics

[Buttons]

The girlfriend had heard of this place called Reptilia. It's an education type reptile zoo with many reptiles on display with information posted about them. They also do educational classes with the local schooloards, birthday parties, corporate events and many other events. www.reptilia.org

We decided to head out yesterday and I brought my camera along (crappy P&S). I was going to label all the pics but I've forgot some so I'll just post them.

It was soooo much fun. We got to see a snake "show" which was mainly for kids but still fun. My girlfriend was selected as a volunteer (in the grey tank top holding the retic). We also got to see some juvi vipers being fed and I talked for quite a bit with one of the main workers there.

Overall was a very fun day. I spent a little too much time staring into the blood pythons enclosure and now I REALLY REALLY want one.

Thanks for sharing,


I love monkey tailed skinks too - I spent ages hand taming a pair in the shop once and even had them mating and some rotten customer came in and bought them.

I was in a huff for the whole week.

Yup, I third the motion that Prehensile Tail Skinks are awesome! I was the only person at the zoo who could handle the one in the education department without being whipped, clawed or bitten. Of course, I still had welts on my arms since he used me as a tree...

Those are some nice critters! Talk about an awesome collection. I was quite pleased that I could identify 90% of them on sight. I am getting really good with reptile IDs now.
