Snakes/Lizards Exhibit at CA Academy (PICS)

[Lolo76]

Today my mother & I went to the California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco) to view the new snakes/lizards exhibit... I actually have more snakes at my house, but I did get to see some cool critters! I certainly don't have a Gabon Viper, for example, so at least there was some novelty to it. Definitely worth checking out if you live nearby, but not worth driving a long distance or anything.

Here are some, okay LOTS of photos! I don't remember all the species' names, but I'll identify what I do remember - feel free to fill in the blanks, if you know the ones I'm missing.

This is the actual animatronic snake from "Anaconda"


Mural of how big a retic gets...


The best pic I could get of "Lemondrop," the albino Retic (I think he's a permanent fixture at the museum)

He's quite the handsome fella, huh?
