    have finally convinced my family to take me here but I don’t have a species list, although the website looks good I am surprised of the lack of any snakes. I kinda need a species list as I won’t be able to concentrate not knowing exactly what’s there.

    @MRJ is there any way you can help?

    I will see what I can do. Are you coming day or night?

    We have several subspecies of carpet pythons and black-headed pythons but they are maintained for encounters, presentations and education. Check out "whats on today" on the home page for presentation times.

    Thanks a lot! The only key species that I was looking forward to that isn’t on display is the yellow bellied glider but you can’t get them all!. I’ll make sure to catch the shows so I can see the bettong and glider. Just hoping the honeyeaters will be back on exhibit by Friday. Hopefully... thanks again you have made my day and I applaud you for your effort. Thanks a lot.

    You would have to do an evening tour for YBGs.
