Monday, March 09: The Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance (Part 3 - reptiles)
The final post about our trip to the zoo!
Once again, most of these pictures are from inside the Tropical Discovery building, which is always my favorite, ha.
Eyelash viper, indeed showing off some lovely lashes.
This monitor was climbing up the tree right as we arrived.
Cobra!
They seem like they're just hanging out.
This guy looks like a little dragon!
Last time someone said the alligator snapping turtle looked like it was just an ordinary-sized turtle, so this time I attempted to get an object for scale. Unfortunately a large crowd of people were coming up, so I didn't get to position my for-scale water bottle the best. The bottle is closer than the turtle, so he's really still even bigger than he looks!
Just a wonderfully polite looking komodo dragon. Would never bite you and leave you to die of sepsis.
Chameleons are so cool. I love their mitten hands.
This guy came right up to stare back, haha.
I love the salt and pepper rattlesnake. :)

Oh neat! Is the salt and pepper rattlesnek a different color morph or a form of albinism perhaps?

I love the rattlesnake! It is a "southwestern speckled rattlesnake" and they all apparently look like that!

Big mossy turtle!

The Komodo dragon definitely looks like it wants to have a chat, haha.
I do adore the giant mossy turtle. We get snapping turtles in the wild here... but not like THAT.
