Wroclaw's terrarium today reports the successful breeding of Haitian Giant Galliwasp (Celestus warreni) and Mountain Chicken Frog (Leptodactylus fallax). It isn't clear from the brief report on their FB page how many frogs have been bred: there's a photo showing two youngsters which still have tails but have developed all 4 limbs.
More terrarium news: Today was the official opening of the "Dragons of Indonesia" pavilion for 4 species of monitor lizard, including Komodo Dragons. Five Roti Island Snake-necked Turtles have hatched. Yesterday, the zoo's biggest African Spurred Tortoise (38 kg) was moved to the Afrykarium to give it much more space.

Is this a new wing in the old terrarium building or is it seperate. It looks good. They should give the turtles more room next.
The four species of monitor on display in the new pavilion are: Papuan, emerald, mangrove and Komodo Dragons. I would also like to know where this is, it looks very impressive.
The terrarium reports recent breedings of the following species: Ocellated Skink Chalcides ocellatus Frilled Lizard Chlamydosaurus kingii Koch's Day Gecko Phelsuma (madagascarinsis) kochi Saban Anole Anolis sabanus Dominican Anole Anolis oculatus winstonorum Western Bearded Anole Anolis barbatus Dumeril's Boa Acrantophis dumerili Pine Snake Pituophis melanoleucus
Wrocław Zoo received from Toronto two species of frogs rather uncommon in european collections: Lemur leaf frog (Hylomantis or Agalychnis lemur) and Solomon Island eyelash frog (Ceratobatrachus or Cornufer guentheri).
I will be going to Wroclaw Zoo on Sunday afternoon and Monday, I have been before a couple of years ago so I sort of know the zoo, but I am particularly interested in seeing the Bear Cuscus which is new since my last visit, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is held on show and where in the zoo it is held. Thanks.
Earlier this year, the Bear Cuscus were to be seen in the (wonderful) Monkey House; this is also where you will see (or, more likely, not see) the Echidna and the Giant Flying Squirrel. When I visited at Easter time, the Echidna were having a daily camomile bath; if you can find out at what time this is due, you will have a chance of seeing the zoo's monotremes.
Pair of Bear Cuscus is still in Monkey House (others three are behind the scenes). They are usually very active. Echidnas have bath only on Wednesdays so is hard to see them. New for you should be Komodo Dragons enclosure in Terrarium House (feeding time for Komodos is Monday 1:00 PM). There is also a lot of other new species in Terrarium. Bird House is closed (roof renovation) but you’ll find several new bird species in Afrykarium.
