WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoturals; Slithery


Starting the post with another flouncy flower for the galpals of the LLB Gang, who host the NF part of this joint meme day.




For Nature Friday and FFF, I bring from Pets Corner this week, the reptilia. The first two were particularly interesting. Notice how the Bosc is just starting to moult its skin.






Next, there were the Iguanas (Central America), the Bearded Dragon (Australia), and the Albino Python (Burma). They were all in a late afternoon siesta at the time of my visit, so a bit static - except for the Iguanas, who were all very curious and interactive through the glass. They were all clearly well cared for - though I did think the Iguanas and the Dragon might have benefited from slightly larger premises. In general, the idea of caged animals is not particularly appealing, but all of these animals were bred to it and were not in any way 'wild'. Very much pets.  I admit I found the Tegu rather intriguing and would have loved an interactive moment.

    Love those reptiles! Of course, we have a few similar ones here as well. Often in unexpected places!

    Roses and reptiles. Much better than guns and roses in my world!

    YAM what a lovely Rose for Rosey.
    Well I'll be a monitor's Aunty. I never in 100 years thought I'd say this but Mr. Bosc Monitor is actually quite to my liking.
    I'm very fond of Gray and white (aka Madi). That being said all are quite interesting. I would like to see them from the outside of their enclosures.
    Happy Nature and FFF
    Hugs Cecilia

    Thanks so much for the beautiful Rosy(and Sunny) Roses!!

    The reptile area of Zoos was always my favorite place to linger. What cool specimens you got to see.

    Those creatures are very interesting, but like many others commenting today, we prefer the roses.

    Your photos are wonderful, but I would not like to meet up with any of those guys. Give me a bouquet of those beautiful roses any day instead:)
