Well, long time, no post. The s/o and I went to the Detroit Zoo yesterday and took a couple of herp photos.

Crocodile Lizard

Fly River Turtle

Can't recall the species of rattler... Prarie?

Finally, being a bird-geek, here's a blurry pic of a lifer for me.

Danielle that lizard looks beautiful and the turtle???? unique I guess lol it reminds me of a manatee cuz those things look weird too. That rattler is pretty nice looking and I love its color and thanks for sharing
Bob

Now that you mention it, the Turtle does remind me a bit of a Manatee!
Glad you enjoyed the pics

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
24.36 BRB
19.19 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Apparently these guys are in high demand in the pet trade??? I don't know, I had never seen one in person before the zoo trip, but on another forum I frequent, they seem to be a controversial topic of discussion.

Quite a bit, actually. I saw a few adults while I was there too, but couldn't break out the camera in time!

Here is a picture of an adult BCNH.
