Fantastic pics! I enjoy seeing other people's facilities as it gives me new ideas on how I can improve my wildlife center's reptile exhibits. Looks like you had a terrific time.

>>I went to Costa Rica for ten days after tying the knot and had a blast. Checked out a bunch of Serpentariums but by far my favorite experience was visisting Reptilandia owned by Quetzal Dwyer and Monica Perez. They have had success breeding some BT's and took out a pair. The male was kind of big. For reference Quetzal is 6'2".

>>About sighting any, I think I might have seen one in Monteverde but I wasn't quick enough to grab him but it's tail looked very familiar,lol. I did talk to one guy from the Arenal serpentarium, he said his BT's weren't on display for breeding purposes. The weather there was wet and humid and alot cooler up in Monteverde at an elevation 4,200 ft.

>>If you haven't been to Costa Rica I would recommend it and go check out Reptilandia. Quetzal and Monica are some of the nicest people I met down there and they have alot of cool reptiles and great displays.
