Singapore Zoo: circa 2010

Alligator snapping turtle enclosure.

Whereabouts is/was this exhibit? Can you walk right up to the glass? Seems a little dodgy with a snapping turtle?

This is in the Snake House. There is a small planter bed in front of the tank. Wouldn't stop someone intent on losing a finger though!

Thanks Zooish. I don't recall this tank, will have to look again at my photos. Which end of the Snake House is it closer to? Is it under cover?

It's between the anaconda and reticulated python tanks, right opposite the exit of the reptile walk through. It is covered.

I, at least, found it weird that a tropical climated zoo, like Singapore's, would keep this species indoors, while many warm-temperate climated zoos keep them in an outdoor pond... I guess the visibility improves, though.

I seem to remember that log extending across the top of the pond with the spikes there to stop the turtle from climbing across. I might be able to find a photo when I have my computer.
