Reptilandia Reptile Lagoon - Full Review, Species List, and Walk-Through!

The zoo has posted quite a few updates over their social media in the past few months, I'm not sure if some species that are shown are on display or behind the scenes.
  • Baby coast horned lizards (Phyrnosoma coronatum) were on display in July
  • A hissing sand snake (Psammophis sibilands) was shown on July 6, not sure if it was on display
  • Hatchling coral cobras (Aspidelaps lubricus) were on display on July 20
  • An orange eyed Parson's chameleon (Calumma parsonii) was shown to be on display on July 30
  • A new female blue tree monitor (Varanus macraei) named Bluey was shown on July 31 and will later be paired with a male on exhibit
  • Newborn crocodile tegus (Crocodilurus amazonicus) were shown on August 5
  • Baby (Plica plica) were found in an exhibit on August 23
  • New yellow tree monitors (Varanus reisingeri) were shown on August 31
  • A caiman lizard (Dracaena guianensis) was donated by Patrick Holmes and is on exhibit
  • Burmese mountain tortoises (Manouria emys) were shown on display on Spetember 19
  • Baby Smallwood's anoles (Anolis smallwoodi) were found in the exhibit and shared on September 20
  • The pair of African dwarf crocodiles (Osteolaemus tetraspis) was shown to be potentially guarding a pile of substrate on September 22
  • A tiger salamander (Ambystoma sp.) was shown on September 11, though likely off display
  • Baby crocodile monitors (Varanus salvadorii) have hatched, shared on November 2!
  • A western banded gecko (Coleonix variegatus) was shown on May 23, not sure if it's on exhibit
Probably missed a lot of stuff, and there were many hatchlings and juveniles shown which weren't labeled to species.
 
Another interesting update, the exhibit with the singular dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis), African Helmeted Turtles (Pelomedusa subrufa) and a Nile Softshell (Trionyx triunguis) now has a Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) as well!
Girly Girl Snakes on Instagram: "Reptilandia is such an incredible experience! This is an example of one exhibit of MANY at Reptilandia where you can see arboreal, terrestrial and aquatic reptiles living harmoniously in the SAME exhibit! How incredible is this enclosure?!? Reptilandia has 2 buildings full of naturalistic, multi-reptile exhibits! I’ve been 4 times all the way from Portland, Oregon and can’t wait to go back AGAIN! Plan your trip to Johnson City, Texas! Thank you for the conservation and education you are providing and for doing it so beautifully! @reptilandia_zoo . . . . . . #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #reptilesofinsta #exoticreptiles #reptilezoo #reptilandia #thingstodointexas #texastodo #lizardsofinstagram #turtlesofinstagram #herpetology #conservation #reptileexhibit #reptilelover #crocodile #monitorlizards #monitorlizardsofinstagram #nilemonitorlizard #dwarfcrocodile"
