    I am glad they are behind the glass! The first snake is a pretty green color. For some reason the middle two look dangerous.. And I like the cute lizard. Nice exhibit. Thank you for sharing your post with my critter party.. Have a happy weekend!

    Beautiful snakes, and the scale pattern in the second photo is amazing. Small constrictors are such fun to handle, too. I like the lizard, it is so cute.

    Litt skremmende og veldig fascinerende bilder Gunilla, det er vel ur-menneske i meg som skvetter litt.
    Det er så utrolig mange farger, mønstre og former av liv, en kan aldri bli lei av å studere det.
    God søndag.
