I was there last summer the reptile house was kind of a disappointment from the visitors viewpoint. I see that the Parsons has mouth issues which is common in captive specimens.

Ryan, you lucky dog! Nice photos, I guess that koala could use a diet? and the Tuatua - how cool is that? Thanks for sharing, but I guess I missed the invite?

, the koala is holding a baby. The Tuatara is probably the coolest thing I have had the chance to put my eyes and hands on.

This trip was a direct result of Chads and my lack of self control at auctions. or else everyone would have been invited.

Nice day out Ryan, is the behind the scenes tour standard?

It is a specially arranged tour, we won the tour at an USARK auction. Not standard at all.
