      I agree, and i certainly don't doubt you expertise. I checked my images again. There was an information display from the Timon and the Vivipara, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept an Muralis as wel. Or maybe I forgot to photograph that display. Posted one year ago

        I hope you got shots of the Ocellated as well, they're such stunning lizards! I'd occasionally see them in my garden, but it's been years since one turned up here. Posted one year ago

          Yes, I managed to make pictures of a beautiful Ocellated one as well. I found I had a nice additional foto with special focus on the blue polka dots, so I uploaded that one now as well.
          Press the Alpenzoo tag for all the pictures that day.
