My specialization is in Neotropical boas of the genus Corallus. This was a "vacation" trip where I met up with colleagues who work in the field. I have pictures of similar trips in other parts of the country that I can post if people are interested, unfortunately for this forum they center around reptiles & amphibians so I don't know if it's appropriate.

The tortoise are Texas Tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri)

Hi!

Great, thanks for Your explanation!

As a reptile hobbiest for a long time (more than tarantulas and mostly in geckos and cordylid species) I'm aslo contribute for a local Zoo as a terrarium (Exotharium as it contain also not only reptiles, but also some arthropods now, few weavers finches, a pair of fenek-foxes, small marmoset and tamarin monkeys and squirel monkeys) worker (consultant+terrarium designer).
We have a pair of adult G. polyphemus and this year for the first time! we got 4 eggs still in incubator.
As for boids we have also several species and particular of the Corallus only one - 3 females and 2 males of C. hortulanus used to call "C. enhydris" here.
This year we also got 11 juve from 2 of the females and here's some photos from me for Your pleasure
Enjoy!
