In a similar vein to a thread I wrote on the subject in May 2022, I've typed up my notes from a recent visit to Zoo Wroclaw in order to provide a snapshot of the sizeable on-show collection present within the reptile house at the zoological collection in question.

The previous thread is here for comparison:

On-show species within the Reptile House - 07/05/2022 [Zoo Wroclaw]

Frustratingly, I could have sworn I wrote up a similar account for the March 2023 on-show collection but can't find it anywhere on my laptop, and certainly don't seem to have posted it on ZC!

On your first list (2022) you had 242 species and on this new one (2024) you have 271 species, although this time around you included 7 fish taxa that I don't think are on the original list. Whatever the case, thanks for taking the time to put all these numbers on ZooChat and Wroclaw Zoo continues to astonish. It must take two hours to go through the building!
