Meet some of our animal ambassadors:
Darwin: the White Throat Monitor
Darwin is a 4-foot lizard that is potty-trained and very curious about the world. He is almost 5 years old.
White Throat monitor lizards are found in Southern Africa.
Petri & Sherbert: the White's Tree Frogs
White's tree frogs produce a substance in their mucus that kills HIV cells.
Frida: the Kenyan Sand Boa
Sandboas are tiny snakes, adults reaching only 20 inches long.
Silver: the Legless Lizard
Believe it or not, this is a lizard, not a snake. They have adapted to live burrow, which is why they lack limbs. Watch our video about legless lizards here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WY2-ErDyMQ&t=18s
Olive: the Giant Gecko
The New Caledonian Giant Gecko is the largest gecko in the world.
Curly: the California Toad
Jenny: the Ball Python
Jenny is a snake that incubates and takes care of her eggs.
Emily: the Eastern Kingsnake
In the wild, kingsnakes eat other snakes including rattlesnakes. They are immune to rattlesnake venom.
Sherman: the Crested Gecko
Crested geckos do not have eyelids, so they lick their eyeballs clean.
One hour: A lizard without legs, frogs that breath through their skin and a jungle tortoise are just a few of the critters you might meet during our full program. Learn about why reptiles and amphibians are important while getting to holding animals most people will never see in real life.
