Reptile Facility

Are all of those terrariums full of reptiles? What exactly is this facility?

Would also be intrested to know more about this place !

Four out of Christmas Island's five endemic lizards are extinct in the wild. The CI Blue-tailed Skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) and Lister's Gecko (Lepidodactylus listeri) are kept here at this facility run by the Christmas Island National Park. There's also a backup population at Taronga Zoo. Both species are classified as Critically Endangered.

Thanks for this info Hix ! I guess this facility isn't open to the public ?

Nope.

I've been invited by Parks staff to visit but I haven't had the chance over the past year. But hopefully soon.

Is there a reason as to why its called the Pink House.

Yes.

The main research building is pink.
