Top Level showing three reptile pits

May 2009

What are in these reptile pits? Crocodiles or something?

didnt this used to be seal pools?

The furthest pit had turtles and Eastern Water Dragons; the middle pit had a couple of adult lace monitors; the closest pit had Central Bearded Dragons, Bluetongues, Shinglebacks and Cunninghams Skinks.

I never visited when they had seals, but I'm guessing this is where they were - the enclosures are deep enough and shaped like a show pool, and the flat area on the right is the edge of a stage. And of course, there are all the seats around the outside of the building.

Incidentally, the people in the photo are a family getting a reptile show, meeting a few lizards and a children's python.

i used to go to oceanworld when i was a kid and yes that used to be the seal pool. was renovated a fair while back.... dont know why these places keep getting rid of seals- they are always enjoyed - particularly by the kiddies

Probably because they are so damned expensive to feed. When a facility starts to feel the financial pinch, the greatest expenses are the first to be cut back.
