    In October of 2016, I went on a family holiday with some family friends to Orlando. And Disney Animal Kingdom has a pretty impressive enclosure for Komodo Dragon! The enclosure was so lushly planted and had plenty basking opportunities. And it deeply resembled an Indonesian rainforest.

    Check out the galleries for Sydney Wildlife World (or whatever it’s called now), Zurich Zoo, Berlin Zoo, San Diego Zoo (especially if outdoor enclosures are within your scope) and Zoo Atlanta. I was deeply impressed by the quality of reptile enclosures at all of them.
