Leopard Geckos

Our Discovery Room is home to three Leopard Geckos, native species of the Middle East. These nocturnal lizards eat lots of crickets and mealworms, and have a very unique feel to their skin.

“Penny”

Tropical Sun Conure

A type of small parrot, the Sun Conure is a very sociable and colorful bird native to Mexico and Venezuela. Penny eats a tropical seed mix, in addition to fresh fruit like grapes and melon. Although Penny cannot speak English as some parrots can, she entertains with a loud squawk as a greeting. She also enjoys dancing to country music.

“Sundae”

Guinea Pig

The Guinea Pig was originally native to South America, but is now a common house pet! Sundae is a long-hired breed of guinea pig, who is very ticklish! She eats guinea pig chow, fresh lettuce, and hay, and will sing her silly song for a  carrot or grape.

Turtles

We have many different species of turtles on display in the Discovery Room, including  painted turtles, box turtles, spotted turtle, wood turtle, and also a Russian tortoise.

“Ringo”

Blue-Tongued Skink

This Australia native lizard has the coolest tongue around! The blue-tongued skink likes to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and sometimes bugs. Ringo’s favorite food is, of course, the bluberry.

“Corny”

Corn Snake

Our hand-raised albino corn snake is a great addition to our educational programs. This friendly snake is native to the southern and central United States, and as a small constrictor, Corny eats only mice.
