It can be hard to get good pictures! A little candid shot from when we tried to take a picture of our monkey tailed sink and he just wanted uppies.

Incorrect fact of the day. This is the luckiest sign of the new year! The new years speckled shoulder percher is said to bring good luck for the coming year if they walk from your right shoulder to your left on new years eve and he did! The coming year will be spectacular for anyone who reads this.

This is really a leachianus gecko. They are the largest species of the gecko family. This one is about a year old and will continue to grow in the coming years.

Incorrect fact of the day! This is the red-haired-demon slayer. Historians believe they are largely responsible for the rarity of redheads today. Though they were almost eliminated, redheads have since built up an immunity to the effects of this animal, so they pose no threat to modern redheads.

This is actually a gargoyle gecko. We have recently added two of them to our collection and we are looking for names. They are both female and well be roommates, so feel free to comment with your suggestions!

Incorrect fact of the day! I just wanted to share my salad with everyone! It is my favorite kind of salad. Very healthy with no added sugars or preservatives.

This is actually one of our monkey tailed skinks. He was telling me it was dinner time by laying in his food bowl. He didn't want to get out, so I just piled the food on top of him. He loved it!

Is this the equivalent of buying your cat a new toy and they just play with the box? I just redecorated his enclosure yesterday and he has never done this before.

Update to one of the enclosures. It's now planted! Who can find the reptile? Zora, our BCI (boa constrictor imperator), is in here hiding. Can you identify any of the plants?

Incorrect fact of the day! This is the extremity common, but rarely seen displacer skink. They are native to every continent in the world including the arctic, but they are rarely ever seen. The displacer beast in D&D is based off of this animal! They can only be seen without special equipment when they are in shed, like this one is, but everyone has seen them without knowing. They are the wisp in the corner of your eye, but when you turn there's nothing there.

This is actually one of our monkey-tailed skinks. She is super friendly and is, of all our reptiles, the one that enjoys being around humans the most.

Incorrect fact of the day! This is the coffee mug dagger clawed deep ocean skink. They are native to the deepest part of the ocean and only come to the surface once a month to breathe. They live near hydrothermal vents, and that is why they cling to warm things like coffee mugs!

This is actually our newest addition! She is a monkey tail skink. They are a social species, so we got a second one so they could be best friends. They have not met yet, though. That's for a future day.

The great things about bringing a giant service dog to the zoo is that all of the primates and otters come over to look at him. Videos will be posted on our Tails and Scales page.
