This thread will be where I post a selection of zoo reviews based on my visits across 2023. Whenever I visit a major zoo, I attempt to write an extensive walkthrough-like review on, as it is both fun to write and (I hope) useful to other members on this forum. However, for smaller collections...

I noticed this green gecko of unknown species on one of the walls in the tropenhalle, sadly I was not able to get a photo of the back because of the angle. But this should be either Koch's day gecko (Phelsuma kochi) or Greater Madagascar day gecko (Phelsuma grandis).

This species is relatively new at the park and arrived in 2021, they are kept in a pretty large group free living in the tropenhalle, and in a pair in the vogelhaus.
