Our Animals

Reptiles tell the stories of millions of years of biological diversity. They come from all over the world and tell stories of their homes. Our reptile friends are tame, safe, and ready to share their tales with you!

Agro our the friendly neighborhood American Alligator. He is approximately 4 feet long and enjoys a steady diet of chicken and fish. American Alligators can live up to 30 years and live all over the southeastern United States. They can grow to be nearly 20 feet long and weigh over 400 pounds. When Agros shares his tail with you, he will show you the differences between alligators and crocodiles, tell you about where he came from and what it is like to live life as an alligator.

Rossa, the Red Tailed Boa is over 10 feet long. She is 17 years old. Red Tailed Boas live in Central America and Southern Asia. Some species of boa constrictors can live to be over 30 years old and grow to over 30 feet. Rossa is just about done growing but she loves kids, having her picture taken, and explaining biodiversity and different ways that snakes adapt to their surroundings.

Gumpert is our favorite Water Monitor. Water monitors grow to be over 8 feet long and are the friendliest of all monitor species. Closely related to Komodo Dragons, Water Monitors live on tropical islands and in rain forests. Gumpert's favorite foods are fish and mice. He likes to swim and climb trees and enjoys finding new and interesting hiding spots where his camouflage comes in handy.

Anna is going to be a big girl one day. Anna is a gree anaconda. Anacondas grown to be the largest snakes in the world, weighing hundreds of pounds. Some anacondas grow to be nearly 30 feet long. Anna is a native of South America where she lives in swams and marshes. Her eyes and nose are shifted towards the top and front of her head so that she can snorkel and hide in the water.

George is a green iguana. George is very special for two reasons though. First of all, George is an Albino iguana. Albino animals lack blue and black pigment so they appear yellow, white, pink, and purple. George has really cool red eyes. The other interesting thing about George is that George is a girl. When iguanas are born, you cannot tell if they are boys or girls. We just assumed that George was a girl. A few years later, George had eggs, and lots of them - 42. By then, George already knew her name and we couldn't change it. George's favorite Reptile Tales are about genetics, gender determination, and how math and biology can mix.

Lucy is is George's best friend because they are so alike. They are both albino but Lucy is not an iguana, she is a reticulated python. Reticulated pythons grow to be the longest snakes in the world. In the early 1900's, the longest snake ever recorded was a reticulated python. She was over 32 feet long. Lucy is still a baby but one day she wants to be the longest snake in the world! Lucy likes to teach us about reptile diets, endangered species, and conservation of reptile habitats.
