    What's the possibility of asking at Staten Island if you can see them off-show?

    No idea, haven't tried going bts at SIZ. That said, in my experienced zoos don't like letting untrained individuals into the venomous snake sector.

    Well, that's a good point I suppose.

    Only had success with seeing venomous animals offshow once, and in that case they weren’t even what I was there for. I’ve been offshow at Staten Island but I don’t think it’d be possible for the venomous animals.

    Is Synoicus adansonii kept anywhere? If so, do their holders take care to not breed them with Synoicus chinensis?

    Are there currently any African or Indian or Philippine pangolins in captivity? I’ve seen the Chinese and the Sunda, and I’m curious if other species have been kept successfully.

    There are a whole bunch of African pangolins in the USA; Indian Pangolins are kept in some Indian zoos; Philippine Pangolins are/have been kept in the Philippines. (For the latter two species, I don't believe there are any outside those countries).

    For African pangolins in the USA I thought only San Diego had them and the individuals may have since passed away.

    There are currently 6 American zoos with White-bellied pangolin, all from a relatively recent import. There are several threads on the forum about these animals already.

    Let's not forget Gladys Porter Zoo keeps them as well. I'm pretty sure they have the second largest and most successful group after Brookfield. There's also that guy in Florida who facilitated the import who supposedly keeps them privately.
