Central Florida Zoo Pictures!

[RobbiesCornField]

Yay, picture time!!!! After finally going through and editing the almost 200 pictures I took, I deemed just over 100 of them fit for forum viewing. Some towards the end will be of the same reptiles earlier on, as they had moved since our early on visit to the herp area, and allowed better shots. For any Florida people, or potential Florida visitors, interested, the zoo's website is http://www.centralfloridazoo.org . Time for the pictures!!!! Please refrain from replying until I've posted all the photos. It's going to take several posts!


Apparently, there's a really fun obstacle course with zip lines and everything. Unfortunately, it was $30/ea with zoo admission. Needless to say, we passed on that.

They have a detention pond that provides a habitat for wild animals that happen to wander in. This little booger was the only gator we saw in there.

Tony has informed me that I have to buy one of these for him when we have the money and the space. LOL. It's a Crocodile Monitor.

Red Spitting Cobra (Naja pallida)

Canebrake Rattler (Crotalus horridus)

EDIT: Some type of viper. I can't remember the name.

King Cobra in blue (Opiophagus hannah)

TO BE CONTINUED!!!

I cannot, for the life of me, remember what this rattler is...

Someone had just gotten skooshed!!

Please don't ask me to remember what these frogs are. All I know is that they're poison dart frogs.

Okay, this picture was actually an accident. The top of this enclosure had a blue "tint" film thing with a message on it. The flash was above the tint line, and turned everything blue (except the snake). I thought it turned out kind of cool for being an accident!!

Eyelash Viper

Nanci's favoritest gecko in the whole wide world!!

Just kidding! But seriously, you thought you had nose-hair problems?!

I have no idea what this bug is called... we were trying to figure out what it was as we sat by the refreshment stand and had our sodas.

Thanks!! It really was a lot of fun. A bit hot and humid, but this is Florida.

VERY KEWL PICS, Robbie!!! Thank you for sharing them with us.

That "bug" with the junk on its back looks a lot like an antlion... but antlions don't paste things to their backs... that I know of. Maybe a damsel fly nymph or something like that.

I REALLY gravitate to all the snakey pics... including the accident one.

And the Mambas... oooooohhhh! I love Mambas!

Thanks! We were actually surprised to see the number of snakes they had.

Oh, and they did have a normal corn there, too. It was hiding under the yellow rat. :roflmao:
