I know not everyone loves them but thanks for looking!  We do an educational show with them..and we take Bindi(the coatimundi) and Marley to lighten the mood and help them overcome their fears.

wow. Nice Collection of Herps you got there. I had a few... but they passed within the year. i lost 3 iguanas in 3 years (so sad). one to MBD, two to seizures... (which im also told was from MBD)they were rescues... I also had a green basilisk male, who passed before xmas. and my mom has two green water dragons (so we're lizard fans as u can guess). i also owned a Black Emperor Scorp. Who gave birth to babies... and a Costa Rican Zebra (aka Stripe kneed) Tarantula.
what is that first creature. he/she sure is purdy!!
Congrats.

OMG, i just looked up your Coati, and realized. We HAD some in our local "petting farm" unfortunately, someone broke in at night and stole the breeding pair PLUS their new borns. but, i DO know what they are now :) hehee

Awww...thats so sad.  I dont think they  knew what they were getting into.  As much as we love Bindi, she is a full time job x100.  She is so full of energy..like a neverending 2yr old, but we love her and she really is alot of fun.  The beardie I think is actually crossed with a sandfire because around his eyes are orange.  Very nice lizard.  I will email you a link to look at all our stuff!  Its always nice to find another reptilian lover!!

Wow what a houseful!!  I love the Coati he is so cute, the lizards are cool actually my son wants one but it would have to be a herbavour(sp), the snakes well they are nice looking but I must say I'm not a snake lover either - but they look very happy with you and your family.  How great that you do an educational show; maybe if I was exposed earlier I wouldn't find snakes so scary.

Beautiful creatures, all of them!! Even the snakes!!! :D I used to have a boa and a ball python when I was a teenager. It's been a long time since I handled a snake, but I think they are awesome!!!

That's great that you have rescued so many, the pet trade is scary- so often people don't realize what they are getting into when buying exotic animals.

Great zoo!!! ;D Looks like you have a pretty cute dog there, too! :D ;)
