Trip to EBV... tons of pics!

[Lolo76]

Today I took a drive out to East Bay Vivarium in Berkeley (where I actually bought my first snake, Delilah), since I had a glass/wood terrarium to trade in. They gave me $75 store credit, so of course I spent it on a snake... which I'll tell you about in a minute. In the meantime, here are the photos I got with my iPhone - for anyone around here who hasn't been, it's definitely worth a visit!

P.S. I won't bother trying to identify each animal, since I'll probably get a few wrong.





Her baby was scared of the turtle, LOL


(I've never actually seen them charge for petting)




I do know this one - a Sulphur Monitor
















Entry for this month's HOTM, perhaps?














Hard to tell from the pic, but this was one of the biggest boas I've seen!

Oh, and in case you're wondering what I came home with... it's a baby male jungle carpet python.

The biggest "boa" is actually a tiger reticulated python, and great pick up. Ive been dieing to get one

Thanks. I'm thinking of calling him "Kipling," after the author of Jungle Book - Kaa was too obvious, LOL.

And what do you mean by your first sentence? Is a retic actually a boa? Guess I'll restate that and say "it was the biggest BCI I've ever seen!"

No he meant the snake you thought was a big Boa is actualy a Reticulated Python.


Congrats on the awesome pickup!

Yeah. The sentence may be misplaced where you say thats "the biggest boa you've ever seen". But where it actually is placed, you're referring to a tiger retic.

Btw, can anyone identify this lizard for me? Not really looking to get lizards now, but this guy/gal is just tooooo cute...

Not 100% sure, but looks like a water monitor to me.

That would be an Argus monitor.

[Lolo76]

Thanks for identifying that! He/she really is a cutie... maybe one day if I decide to keep big lizards, I'll get one of those & a beardie.
