What is their collection of reptiles and amphibians like?

I know they supposedly have 2 Galapagos tortoise. Probably also Japanese giant salamander. What else???
 
@Kifaru Bwana It's incredible. A full list will have to wait at least a few days unfortunately, but last year there was also a side room which was open, containing several native species including 3 or 4 species of Hynobiid salamanders, Japanese grass lizard, Japanese gecko, Eastern Japanese five-lined skink, Japanese burrowing ratsnake, Mamushi, Japanese gliding frog, Forest green tree frog and Japanese wrinkled frog. The main hall housed Sri Lankan black turtles, three-toed amphiuma, greater siren, Madagascar leaf-nosed snake and the Galapagos tortoises (only saw one of them last year, I think) among many other creatures. In 2016 there were also Okinawa tree lizards and a Candoia species in the foyer (near the large tanks for giant salamanders) - in 2017 an area in the corner showed off a checkerboard worm lizard instead.
