Kelly and I took along Soloman and Pharaoh. Soloman was an absolute stalwart and was incredible with everyone he even went for several walks in his harness. Keep an eye out on local papers as either myself or Kelly along with Soloman may be included in the press release for the event. Unfortunately Pharaoh was put off by all the activity and spent most of the day covered up. Chameleons as a rule don't like human contact at the best of times and the amount of noise and activity put him off quite a bit. Overall though he wasn't too stressed and we were able to give people a sneak peek throughout the day. Here he is when we first arrived looking a bit miffed by all the upheaval:
We had a lot of people through the doors and they met some great snakes from members collections including Denise's beautiful Mexican Black King snake and several corn snakes provided by Denise, Chris and Teresa. Teresa also provided some enormous cockroaches and a Tarantula plus a couple of royal pythons.
one of Teresa'a corns even tried to sneak out hiding in someone's hand bag......
Below is a picture of another of Chris's snake's a gorgeous little sand boa.
He entertained people by burrowing in and out of the sand eventually but he did seem to like climbing about.
I managed to get a quick tour of the zoo that, while although small, houses a variety of other animals. Here are just a few.
A great big Scarlet macaw
Also on display was a gorgeous Ocelot.
Shaldon zoo really is worth a visit if your in the area and it makes for a nice trip out.
