Komodo Dragons at Moody Gardens
Finally out on exhibit. These are not my pictures, I haven't had a chance to get some good ones yet. But here they are, Murphy and Diablo.
Here is an old picture of their enclosure back when it housed a pair of Chinese Alligators, and had not yet been netted over in preparation for the Komodos.

Re: Komodo Dragons at Moody Gardens
Awesome creatures; thanks for the pictures. The enclosure is in some sort of greenhouse type thing, is it?

Yes it is. It stays in the 70-80 degree range even when it's in the 20s outside.

Re: Komodo Dragons at Moody Gardens
Awesome! We have some here at the Minnesota Zoo as well; they've been on display now for about 15 years or so. Always my favorite part of the zoo.

Re: Komodo Dragons at Moody Gardens
Those are really nice, how big are they? Never seen Komodo Dragons that small I don't think.
