Insect Direct Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Call me dumb, what are Herps?

bdspider Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Orana Park, Southern Encounter Aquarium and Willowbank all have reptile displays. Orana's is probably the better of the 3, it has lots of different natives and a few exotics (well, a blue tongue and a tortoise) + they just got some new tuatara, they do a talk about them and I think you get to touch/hold them if you're lucky.

Didnt orana get in trouble for not enough light and uv for the tuatara aparentley there is a crack down about uv on zoos read it in the paper about 5 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
