oh yeh. the chicken fogs are so named because the natives of the islands they come from say they taste like chicken, but one of the reasons they are so endangered is because they are the islands native specialty dish! Hunted to near extinction. and also kitric fungus ahs got to them too like many other amphibians |

Apparently is named A Mountain Chicken Frog because they live on mountains and they taste like chicken. |

Great photos, Matty!
Looks like they have a nice selection.
That Madagascan Tree Boa is incredible!
And the Desert hairy scorp looks fat! Heavily gravid id say.
Thanks for posting the pics, looks like a great place! |

Great photos Matty - Love the armadillo! Those frogs are golden mantellas, I've been after some but kaz wont let me Darts are only poisonous in the wild, they get their poison from their diet of a certain type of ants if I remember right. |

I think I have named all the lizards? I didnt post a photo of the skink, couldnt get the camera to focus through the glass. |

Posted - 05/09/2009 : 19:44:13
the lizard you didn't know i think was a prehensile tailed skink, if it was in one of the last vivs on the end?
It's nice seeing all those, I miss the tortoise! And they were giant Galapagos tortoise if I remember correctly  . The top one is Twiggy and the second of is Matilda
Those chuckwallas are so sweet but pack one hell of a bite! And I fed the amethystines chicks :P
Oh and the tiny little yellow frogs aren't darts, but I can't rmeember for the life of me what they are! Still highly poisonous though! |
