Are there no longer Sailfin Lizards within Iguana Forest?

I thought there was another testudine species in there too?? (a box turtle i think but i dont quite remember)

 

[DesertRhino150]

There used to be Philippine sailfin lizard, yellow-margined box turtle and Eastern box turtle in Iguana Forest (as well as the last of the lesser Malay chevrotains), but all of these species are now absent.

Also, have the cichlids moved back into the crocodile pool recently? On my last visit (just over a week ago), the pool had butterfly splitfin, a few tiger barb and an unsigned species of small suckermouth catfish. I know there were cichlids in there for a short time, but they were removed in July 2016.

Colchester is one of 5 with Gariau forest dragons
One of 4 with Mindanao rufous hornbills
and the only one with Uganda village weavers, Haplochromis xenognathis Victoria cichlids, violet soldierfish and Taiwan bitterlings

Stopped by the crocodile enclosure today specifically to check what fish were in there - there are still butterfly splitfin and the unsigned suckermouth catfish species, but the tiger barbs are now gone.
