One of the enclosures in the Reptile House has been redeveloped to house newly-arrived Chinese crocodile lizards. At the moment they have three youngsters.
 
oh and the gaboon vipers ar eno longer on show, dont know if they have moved to another zoo or just off show?
 
They haven't had gaboon vipers in quite some time, as far as I can recall - do you mean the Puff Adder, which is in the same genus?

Puff adder is on-show. The two eyelash vipers LisaS mentioned are two different morphs, displayed side-by-side, which is nice.
 
Not entirely sure what she meant then - as noted above it has been a long time since the collection had either species of Gaboon Viper.
 
its been some time since ive been perhaps three years, i did have a zoo keeper experience day had they had the female gaboon viper off show as she was gravid think thats the technical term, the puff adder was there, beautiful snake, but im sure they used to have two, the enclosure had some tortoises and lizards, which i cant remember the names for the life of me

i took this in 2010, and i had my zoo keeper day in 2011 i believe, so i guess that they have either gone to another collection or off show?
 
Announced on Facebook this morning - the wolverines have had their second litter, with three cubs being born at the end of January. They have now started to emerge from the den for the first time.

If I'd known about this I'd have kept a closer eye on them on Friday :p
