  3. By the way Joost, does this reptile place still exist? Last year I heard it burned down? Posted 12 years ago
    1. Two weeks ago at least it was still there, that is when this photo was taken :)

      I can recommend a visit, it is a small place but their reptile collection is the biggest of the zoo's I have seen so far. They also have a show where you can hold a rat snake and a tarantula spider.
      (I see you have already been there)

      1. Thanks. I've been there before two years ago, just wondered if it still existed due to the fire report. Glad it's still there. I agree it is a wonderful place, many reptiles they have are very rare. Posted 12 years ago

''Lygodactylus williamsi'', commonly known as William's Dwarf Gecko or the Electric Blue Gecko, was first discovered by biologist William in the 1950s.

Found in the Kimboza Forest in eastern Tanzania. This tropical forest habitat is rapidly shrinking due to deforestation.
