One of the new displays in the reptile house.

Any guesses as to what might be going on display in here?

A plumber, perhaps?

Something Aussie or Midwest American, possibly - to fit with the makeshift outside shack look.
 
I'll agree with bongorob. The modern thing in zoos these days is to let the public feel like the place is interactive and they can watch everything the keepers do, whether it be feeding the animals, cleaning the cages, or, in this case, going to the toilet.
 
I could remark that the London Zoo's reptile exhibit theming quality has really gone down the toilet, but that seems rather unnecessary.
 
If there was a toilet seat I would say Red Back Spiders. Other than that Green Tree Frogs like toilets, showers and basins. Brown Snakes don't mind hiding around dunneys either.

it looks way too big for a redback display, and probably likewise for tree frogs. I'd say a snake is most likely, although perhaps a small python (e.g. Children's python) rather than brown snake. It would be cool if they filled it with hundreds of huntsmen though!!
 
Maybe that back wall is actually waterproof, and they're going to fill it 3/4 full of water, and use it to display baby alligators!

ooh that's some nice lateral thinking there! I like it.


(Or perhaps its "lavatorial thinking"?)

I agree, its more likely to be for something larger than spiders or frogs. So maybe some big snake to freak people out?

Huntsmen are disgusting b.t.w. (not a spider fan;) )
