I haven't been to Melbourne Zoo for about 22 years - I always remember that the repitle display was phenominal. I was in Sydney last monday with the family and went to Taronga Zoo. I was really disappointed with the lack of local reptiles on display, on top of that the snakes look well over fed. We were staying with my folks in Hornsby and being so close to the ARP I probably should have gone there.

One is definately a taipan, hard to tell the other species from that piccie though.

 

[peterescue]

heres that one

 

[Dicco]

WTF? There a boiga in with a scutellatus or am I seeing things??

 

[hugsta]

I new one was a taipan but was is the other one. That is a coastal so whats the other?

 

[peterescue]
