It was list on the screen, but I did not see it in the "mud" water I would say.

Did you get to go in person, or did you put that video on 1/8ths speed?

Excited to hear your thoughts if you've been!

I can't wait! Any chance you made a species list?

I will try my best, the list is a little bit hard since they use electronic scroll screen to show certain species, I would say that's annoying

That is certainly a bit annoying - I was under the impression that they were touch screens, for some reason.

The zoo's had a pretty eventful last 24 hours, with five Rio Fuerte Beaded Lizards (Heloderma exasperatum) hatching yesterday and a female Woma Python (Aspidites ramsayi) dropping four perfect-looking eggs this morning. Both can be seen on their Facebook page, and probably Instagram as well if they cross-post (I'm not on both).

Finally was able to visit and had a few things to share.

The babies in the nursery are currently Taylor's Shield-Tailed Agamas, A Green Bush Viper, 2 Western Bearded Anoles, 2 Crocodile Monitors, a Madagascan Spotted Diving Skink, and several Western Girdled Lizards.

a few species that are no longer on display are the Saharan Horned Vipers, Drakensburg Crag Lizards and the Spencer's Monitor(this one really hurt as the spencer's was the main reason for my visit, sadly I confirmed with the owner that they no longer have the spencer's...) A trio of Dumeril's Boas have taken up the old spencer's Monitor enclosure. Several enclosures where empty with no signage or inhabitants. The exhibit that formerly held axolotl and Cliff Anole now has a Ridley's Cave Racer. Some other species have swapped enclosures, for example the Perentie and Sungazer are now in the Temperate Building.

another new species, upstairs is a juvenile Lesser Antillean Iguana, which is in one of the central wall enclosures across from the butterfly lizards.

Another cool new addition is a Tenerife Giant Lizard(Gallotia galloti) in the temperate building.

I'm thinking of making a full species list if I get some free time.

The Drakensberg Crag Lizards are back on display, in a new enclosure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bumi headed towards iZoo. That places owner has been trying to get his hands on Komodo dragons for the longest time.

According to their Facebook, one of their South American displays now contains at least
smooth-fronted caiman Paleosuchus trigonatus and toadheaded turtle Mesoclemmys nasuta.

The zoo received a Aubrey's Flapshell Turtle(Cycloderma aubreyi) as a donation.

Now that is a cool addition
