    Behind You! (to the left)
    This is a really tough conundrum (damn you, in the sweetest way). I'm flip-flopping on how to conclude, where's Micheal Buerk when you need him?

    I think I'm concluding it's not counting, primarily because it's not a display animal. Other factor's pushing this conclusion are that the Kew Gardens is not really an animal exhibit, also they're not on Zootierliste and don't have a zoo licence. Plus as stated before, "things are complex enough already".

    You don't know how close you were to getting a whimsical one off let-in exemption for raising such a fiddly, challenging, dilemma (but in the end I couldn't because it would be throwing logic/fairness out the window:)).

    Once I have finished having a long lie down in a darkened room after todays visit to Twycross I will be adding a few more,to my challenge total including 1 retro addition after checking that it is correct.I still think that reaching over 300 could be well beyond what I can now reach with the places I have visited over the last few days!!

    Nicely explained Shorts, thank you :) Even though it doesn't count towards the total, knowing that I came close to getting a whimsical exemption more than makes up for it :)

    He's been using primarily the latter two options, though I think he may end up using the first option once or twice too.

    Fairly pointless adding this but at the 3Rd attempt at Colchester 7/8/16
    168 Phillipine Sailfin Lizard

    At a real stretch I may get somewhere near 200, but I won't compete with the leader(s)

    Don't count yourself out yet, I'm only going to a handful of more collections and don't think many are too good for reptiles.

    However, when I get around to it I will be seeing you on the ungulate challenge;)

    So a few closer to the 300 mark which I think is going to be beyond everyone including myself.I will over the next week or 2 sit down and work out what is leading in the multiple collections seen scoreboard.Added yet a few more sub-species which don't count but as per normal I have added them as a sub letter of the number of the first of the family I saw.

    Quick question (and to Pipaluk too).

    Though it's probably all rather academic at the stage, I was wondering what the set up is at Van Hage Garden Centre? I'm trying to decide whether it would count for the challenge as garden centres generally wouldn't.

    It's a little area with lots of enclosures for exotics, located at the back of the garden centre, which is free to enter. Other species in this area include the usual things - coatis, meerkats, marmosets, golden pheasants, the reptiles, some owls, skunks, and a few domestics like pygmy goats, ferrets, degu, cockatiels, budgies, chickens etc.
