I'm surprised by the graphic difference in the heads and faces between Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises. The Aldabra (Nostradamus) looks calmer and more relaxed. That Galap (Darwin) always looks grumpy! One of the Galaps, whether it's Darwin or not, also looks like it wants to head-butt Kenan from time to time. I know Kenan has a "grumpy" Sulcata tortoise female who DOES head-butt people!

Seeing the Stack of Snake Necks.... it was like a Medusa with multiple shells for a face. And, every time I see the Aldabra Nostradamus I think about his future... he will outlive Kenan and grow to at least 600 lbs. His daughter loves the reptiles and I know she will be there for Nos and the second phase of his life.

Slinky really is an impressive animal. You see other adult captive water monitors and they don’t always look like him and I think it’s because he doesn’t live like most captive water monitors. His enclosure really replicates his natural environment so he looks like a a wild one would look but he’s great with Kenan.

I love the critters at both your locations. There is a reptile zoo east of me in Monroe, WA. It’s okay, I get to “cuddle” snakes and give their Sulcatas scritches, but I’d really love to visit you guys and Kennan.
