Yellow phase and green phase? I'd love them to get them on display. Is that back tunnel permanently off show, or is it being redeveloped?

It is permanently off show as they have a serious problem heating the enclosures their as a result they are now all empty,also their are i believe structral problems with the walk way.Quite right yellow and green phase normally i perf the yellow phase but the green phase female is stunning with very nice markings,as far as i know at moment no plans for them to go on show if they did would say Realm of R.A.

I would've thought Spirit of the Jag would be better suited if the could find space, maybe instead of the emerald tree boas.
 
Chester has a lot of unusual reptiles which are off show, on show are the more common Sanzinia Boas, Rhinoceros Iguanas, Gila Monsters and Egyptian Tortoises. These can be seen in lots of zoos. Unfortunately Chester is not the only collection to keep their more rarely seen reptiles behind the scenes.

When the reptile corridor was closed the zoo put a sign up stating that all the reptiles from this area would be placed on show in other exhibits. I doubted that this would be the case because of a lack of suitable enclosures elsewhere in the zoo. As Chris suggests
the eyelash vipers could be exhibited in place of another snake species.
 
has anybody been up early enough to catch the new series of roar on bbc2 7.30am behind the scenes at howletts and port lympne.
 
I get the bus to school at That time, but I see a few clips at the shop sometimes. Clouded leopard cubs and African eles were on.
 
The design of the enclosure does not allow for keeping a venomous species in their hence it been the Boas.
 
What's the biggest!!!. I always though it was small because the entire space used to be home to the Guanaco and Rhea and it didnt appear that big back then.

Do you mean second biggest Spectacled Bear enclosure or bear enclosure because if its bear enclosure,Rhenen Holland has a 2 enclosures that i would say were bigger one for Brown the other for Polar Bears.
 
I meant bear enclosure. Sorry.

I don't know the biggest, sorry. Zurich looks big, but it is a few stringed together. They also mix their bears with Coatis. I've put a video of the bears on the gallery.
 
Reindeer in the western part and before them Beisa Oryx. In the eastern part have been Greater Kudu, Ostriches, Chinese Water Deer and White Kafue Lechwe. That's all I can remember.
 
oh so thats were the Reindeer were kept, i've trying to remember for ages where they were kept. Personally i think the Rheas and Guanacos should leave for the paddock next to the Oryx and Zebra with the Tapirs, Vicuna anc Capybara being moved to the old Sable paddock and the bears can have the entire space then.
 
The rest of the series will be interesting, for people who like lion cubs. Tejas is apparently featuring in six of the last eight programmes.
