Take me to the zoo (part 2)

If you happened to miss yesterday's post, Part 1, it is here.

We have now moved inside.  I enjoyed some of this exhibit, but some not so much.

The first thing we saw were these turtles.

I was so happy that I got such clear photos, especially since they were behind glass.

I went a bit crazy photographing them.

They danced around and I imagined a water ballet.

Some chose to sit and warm themselves.

Others put on a show.

One even did a swan dive for me!

As we moved on, Sally thought these were rocks.

Then she thought they were fake. 

I remembered the huge turtle I photographed last year for Rinda's challenge.  It was about this size. 

Thankfully, they started to move about.

As we rounded the corner, Sally was shocked to see that one was eating.

This one ate as slowly as I eat!

Now we're off to the creepy, crawly part of this indoor exhibit,

although I never saw this alligator.
For those of you 

who have an aversion to bugs,

close your eyes.

And if you have an aversion

to snakes,

any snake,

this may not be the exhibit for you.

Snakes were everywhere.

Thankfully they are all behind some very thick glass.

Finally, something not snaky.

Yes, it's an

American iguana.

This gila monster

stood still while I photographed it.

These cute little frogs

were as shy as Bleubeard.

More snakes,

this one hiding under rock, had lovely coloring.

Of course, I had never heard of this tortoise

that was climbing around in its food dish.

Even though it was a school day, I saw many children, 

and they were all in awe of this exhibit.

Next, we'll head through a door to the steamy jungle where palms caught my eye.  We'll check that out after we've had a bit of T this Tuesday.

Thanks again for joining me on this trip to the zoo.  As promised, this was the first time I've seen this exhibit, and I think I can mark that off my list of areas I don't care if I ever see again.
