July 4th Bx Zoo Reptile House Visit

[MM1]

Was at the Bronx Zoo with my 6 yr old and his 2 little cousins in the morning on the 4th this year and snapped a few cell phone shots. It was great as in empty. The animals were actually active and moving as opposed to hiding or napping as is typical during busy times with extra noise and obnoxious visitors glass tapping and waving at them. These are not great but here's a few.

This guy wouldn't stop moving. He's one of four May 2013 Merten's Water Monitors in the nursery. In the Fall they will be part of a new monitor themed exhibit in another area of the zoo(according to a keeper I spoke with).
