Firstly I would like to thank everyone for thier help in the first project about all the animal species kept at the zoo (Dudley) from the opening day upto the present.

I'm now setting about trying to get a list of all the reptiles that have been kept at the zoo (Dudley) since the opening day.
I know that on theopening day there was no retile house this was built at a later date but there was the reptilia (Now Meerkat Enclosure) I only have the current reptiles so far so any help at all would be absolutly brilliant

many thanks in advance

Indian Star Tortoise in 1979, I was quite disappointed because I had mis-identified it as a radiated tortoise.
 
Dudley was the first collection in the UK to breed Nile Crocodiles, back in the 1970s.
I know this isn't adding to your list, but I thought it was an interesting Dudley reptile fact.
