Varanus beccarii
Varanus gilleni
Quite a rare species in zoos and not one I expected to see at this small collection!
Always love seeing monitor lizards.
The same exhibit was supposed to also contain Red Sand Boa (Eryx johnii), but i didn't see any. 19th January 2020.
Varanus gilleni - don't think there are any others in Zoos in the UK?
