I believe that the original plans had a snake and lizard living on the land part of this exhibit, which is why the tree was built. I wonder if they are planning to add them in the near future...

BTW, thanks for the photos Blackduiker!

With many more to upload. Very crowded, so not the greatest day for photography. Spent part of the day with DavidBrown, including lunch. And we kind of reached an agreement that he would provide the actual review, and I most of the photographs. Not that he didn't also bring along his camera as well. But we both reached the conclusion that, the wait, was definitely worth it.
 
I still expect to see at least one species of lizard or snake introduced here, that would be compatible to this exhibit. There is adequate space above the surface for it.
 
The original plan had Green Tree Pythons (Morelia viridis) living on the land part of this enclosure. I do believe they will be added eventually since they are part of one of the commercials and I don't think they are exhibited anywhere else in the LAIR.

The upper level of this exhibit would be perfect for Green Tree Pythons.
 
This exhibit sounds interesting. How large is it? The water area doesn't look large enough for an adult Carettochelys insculpta. Maybe I am wrong? The addition of GTP's would be good, at least visually. But they are boring and just coil around a branch. They have all that "dry land" going to waste. Maybe add some Varanids? Mertensi, would be nice.
