Monitor lizards also known as bayawak or goannas,are members of the family Varanidae. Varanus is a group of carnivorous lizards which includes the heaviest living lizard, the Komodo dragon and the crocodile monitor which is the longest lizard in the world.

Sharu our Plated Lizard is unique and very gentle. The Yellow-Throated Plated Lizard or Plated Lizard, (Gerrhosaurus flavigularis), is about 18 inches in length and lives in the grassland and scrub of Sudan, Ethiopia and along Eastern Africa down to South Africa.A ground-living and burrowing lizard, this species is usually greenish-grey or brownish, with a yellow (or sometimes red) throat and often a narrow stripe down each side. It is well armored, with hard body plates, and head shields fused to the skull. The tail is generally about two-thirds of the total length. Its limbs are well-developed, though its four five-toed feet are not specially adapted for digging. These lizards mate during the summer. In mating season the males head change color to either red, yellow or even light blue.The lizard does most of its tunneling after rain when the ground is soft. Active by day, it hunts insects and is rarely seen, despite its size. It moves rapidly through the grass and at any sign of danger darts into its burrow, usually positioned under a bush.

Meet Calipso our Red Tail Boa.  She is about 6 1/2 feet long & weighs about 50 lbs.  She is quite docile & quiet. The Boa constrictor is a large snake, although only modestly sized in comparison to other large snakes such as the reticulated and Burmese python, and can reach lengths of anywhere from 3–13 feet.  Boa constrictors flourishes in a wide variety of environmental conditions, from tropical rainforests to arid semi-desert country. This species does well in captivity, usually becoming quite tame. It is a common sight in both zoos and private reptile collections. Though still exported from their native South America in significant numbers, it is widely bred in captivity. When kept in captivity, they are fed mice, rats, rabbits, chickens and chicks depending on the size and age of the individual. Captive life expectancy is 20 to 30 years, with rare accounts of over 40 years

Meet Ivana our Russian Tortoise, we use her as a comparison to the much larger Sulcata tortoise. The Russian tortoise is a small tortoise species, ranging from 6-8 inches for males, 8-10 inches for females. Coloration varies, but the shell is usually a ruddy brown or black, fading to yellow between the scutes, and the body itself straw-yellow and brown. They have four toes. They live for so long (about 75 years) that people who keep them as pets often leave them in their will. They are usually rather social with humans. They are a popular pet. The Russian tortoise ranges from Afghanistan to north-western China, through the countries of Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan,Turkey,Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Pakistan. It usually lives in dry areas with sparse vegetation. Russian tortoises hibernate during winter and estivate during the summer when temperatures are high. They are avid burrowers and can dig large burrows that might be six feet long. They are herbivorous, and active grazers when the temperature is right, consuming a wide variety of weeds and grasses.

Meet our 2 new Dumpy White Tree Frogs. The Green Tree Frog is larger than most Australian frogs, reaching 4 inches in length. Its color depends on the temperature and color of the environment, ranging from brown to green; the ventral surface is whiteThe average lifespan of the frog in captivity, about sixteen years, is long in comparison with most frogs. Green Tree Frogs are docile and well suited to living near human dwellings. They are often found on windows or inside houses, eating insects drawn by the light. The Green Tree Frog screams when it's in danger to scare off its foe; and this particular frog squeaks when it is touched.

Meet our new Florida Kingsnake Lancelot, he is a no touch for now but very cool to look at.  Kingsnakes are a type of colubrid snake that are members of the Lampropeltis genus, which also includes the milk snake along with another four species and 45 sub-species. Lampropeltis means "shiny shield" (from Greek λαμπρος, "shine" + πελτα, "small shield"), a name given to them in reference to their dorsal scales. The majority of kingsnakes have quite vibrant patterns on their skin. Kingsnakes use constriction to kill their prey and tend to be opportunistic when it comes to their diet; they will eat other snakes (ophiophagy), including venomous snakes, lizards, rodents, birds and eggs. The Common Kingsnake genus are known to be immune to the venom of other snakes and are known to eat rattlesnakes (Kingsnakes are not necessarily immune to the venom of snakes from different localities.). The "king" in their name (as with the king cobra) references their taste for other snakes.

Our Uromastyx Lizard Zilla is just the right size to hold. The Uromastyx is a genus of lizard whose members are better-known as Spiny-tailed lizards. Uromastykes are primarily herbivorous, but occasionally eat insects, especially when young. They spend most of their waking hours basking in the sun, hiding in underground chambers at daytime or when danger appears. They tend to establish themselves in hilly, rocky areas with good shelter and accessible vegetation.
